The girls on ahead, giggling and running like deer, and Cabel slowly falling behind, panting and puffing like the out-of-shape American he was. Shortly, the girls were three hills and a quarter o f a mile ahead, and Cabel dejectedly turned around and shuffled 1 back to his jeep. “It still didn’t w ork,” Cabel told his friend that lunchtime. “I chased them and all they did was .outrun me. Don’t you .’know a nice girl here at the school you could introduce me to?” “T h a t’s just not the way things are d o n e here. You m eet a girl b y chasing h e r.” “My G o d , I ’ll have to do calisthenics for m o n th s.” Just then, there was g reat a g itation in a henhouse o u tside the school cafeteria. “Take a lesson from the rooster,\” his friend said. “Go o u t in the y ard and w atch the rooster chase a ro u n d w ith the h en s for a few m in u te s.” “I d o n ’t u n d e rs ta n d .” “Just w a tc h .” Cabel rose from the table, w alked o u t to the schoolyard and stood by the henhouse. One rooster was chasing half a dozen hens around. The hens were clucking and flapping, running circles around the h en h o u se, while the rooster waddled slowly b eh in d , clearly n o m atch in e ither speed o r agility. Finally, the rooster sim ply w o re h im se lf o u t and just sat d o w n along the side o f the p a th . The h en s stopped. The rooster stared longingly at the hens for some tim e and the h en s stared b ack. Then, o n e o f th e hens, clucking softly, waddled over and sat dow n n e x t to the w o rn o u t rooster. The tw o o f them began clucking back and forth to one another. “I see,” Cabel said in am a zem ent. “So th a t’s h o w i t ’s d o n e .” And so it w as. -D R Every society has its own way o f getting young men to meet young women. These ways differ from place to place, and unless a stranger is familiar witli them, he is like as not going to find himself by himself, puzzled that he cannot make friends with the opposite sex. Cabel Calloway is happily m arried now. But he was y o un g o n ce, and in his y o u th he liv ed for a y ear as a teacher in a small rural tow n in Venezuela. Every day, h e would drive in his jeep down a bum p y dirt road on his way to school o r o n his way h o m e from school. Along his drive, h e paralleled a stream w h ere the y o u n g girls of the tow n occupied themselves alter nately in doing the day’s wash and washing themselves in the rushing water. It was a scene from paradise. Cabel would smile and wave at them as he chugged b y , and the girls, w et and glistening, w o u ld w ave b ack. It w asn’t long b e fo re C abel d ecided to p u r sue w h at seemed to him to be encouragem en t. The n e x t m o rn in g , w h en h e smiled and waved, and the girls smiled and waved, h e stopped the jeep, o p en ed the d o o r and g o t o u t. The girls scream ed. Shouting and giggling, they ran o ff together through the tall grass and over a hill. “I d o n ’t u n d e rstand i t ,” C abel said later to one o f his friends a t the school. B o th h e and the friend were transfer teachers from a H arlem gram m er school. But the friend had been there m u ch longer. “I d o n ’t u n d e rstand it. The girls smile and wave, and seem as if they’s like to m eet y o u but when I g et o u t o f the jeep, they run o ff.” “T h a t’s w h at they’re supposed to do.” his friend said. “And y o u ’re supposed to chase them . It’s the custom here.. The girls run and you chase them . Try it.” So C abel d id .
