Mouse in the Bread Bag
The other day I went to go and buy some bread from one of the neighborhood provisional stores (if you can call them stores. they are more like holes in the wall, wooden shacks or metal shipping containers). When the lady was pulling the loaf out of the bag the bread was in there was a mouse running around inside. She saw it and poured the contents of the bag (bread) into a basket. I stood there sort of disgusted and contemplated not buying the bread because there was a mouse in the bag she pulled it out of and there were nibble marks all over the loaf she was handing me. I bought it anyway and ate it the next day with some eggs. If I were in the US, I would have never bought or for that matter eaten the bread. But here in Ghana, food is food and I could have done a lot worse.
