Maroela story & MTM song

We were told to write a myth about how the Amarula drink was invented with the Maroela tree's fruit, this is my story.

One day, in a Bushman village, one of the woman in the tribe was in a hysteria, her husband had headed out to go hunting 3 days ago and he hadn't come back.  The head elder organized a search party.

The group of men, who formed the search party, found the woman's husband under a Maroela tree, passed out.  They picked him up and carried him to the village, on the way there, he woke up and he was giggling and talking in riddles and looked like he was having a lot of fun.

The men were jealous and wanted to be as happy as the crazy man, they thought that eating the Maroelas was the trick, it made them a little happy but not as happy as the man was.  They decided to cook it with milk and it made them as happy as the crazy man but only for one night.  That's where the Amarula drink originated from but something the Bushman never realized was that the crazy man hadn't actually consumed the Maroela, it had fallen off the tree onto a soft spot on the man's head.

On our meet the management evening we had to sing a song and I would like to share this song with you:

(Stand by me melody)
When Mel has come
and Chef's face is dark
and Heidi is the only light we see.

Oh, we won't be afraid
Oh no, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you have... your blackberry. (inside joke)

Oh Gerbie, Elsie, stand by me ooooh
David stand by me, oh stand, stand by me, stand by me.

...Continue...

(California girl melody)
I know a place, where the sun is really shiny
Warm, wet and wild
there must be something in the water
something in the juice.
Meeting under the maroela trees... And then
Boys break their necks try'na creep a little sneak peak at guests.

You could travel the world, but nothing comes close to Sondela's toast
Once you've been here with us
You'll be falling in love
Ooohohohohohoh

Sondela's farm is unforgetable
Daisy kudu
Service is tops
Sun kissed veldt so hot we'll melk your popcicle
Ohhhohohohoh

Tone, tan, fit and ready, turn it up coz it's getting heavy
wild wild west coast, this is the place we love the most.

So that was just a few random things I wanted to mention, I'll be posting updates of the last 2 weeks shortly. Watch this space
