Default Welcome to Kamouraska

The baker of Kamouraska-Village
From the diaries of a stay in Québec 2004

Remark: The author has worked in 2004 while the summer with one German
adventurer and baker in Kamouraska Village, Québec. Stories represented here
are based on his diary recordings of this Canada stay. All these Stories are
based thus on true occurences.

The author of these stories was called from closest friends also as "that
Strayer", why this name emerges in the stories.

N#14

Welcome to Kamouraska

At the road of Saint Dennis after Kamouraska was at the small slope
briefly before the village a large sign: "Welcome to Kamouraska!.
Strayer saw an old man, who stand on a groggy ladder, helds a pot with
paint in the hands and gave the sign a new painting. The boy went to the
ladder and held these. The old man noticed this immediately: "I thank you,
my son!"
Strayer watched the man. The boy recognized, how heavily the old man did
with the work.
"Shall I paint for you the sign?", Strayer suggested therefore.
The old man accepted Strayers offer thanking.
"When you are finish, bring the pots up to the hotel."

"I heard, you helped the old man to paint the village sign?", Yokes asked on
the next day.
"Right", answered Strayer in its modesty, as if would be no large thing.

When Yokes and Daisy returned in the late afternoon of the purchase,
their view already fell from the width on the new, now bright sign of
Kamouraska.
"Wow, Strayer made that really well", said Daisy. "One can read the name
now from he "Welcome to Kamasutra!"
Silence.
"KAMASUTRA?"
