I was probably about 6 years old and my brother Donnie was 8 years old at the time. My mother asked Donnie if he would go to Danny Shaw’s store and pick up a small cabbage.I went along with Donnie to the store to purchase the small cabbage.When we arrived at the store we went to the bin where the cabbage was but they were all quite big. Donnie, remembering what my mother said “get a small cabbage” decided to start peeling the leaves of the large cabbage until he figured it was small enough to suit our mother. Thinking back poor Danny did not make much profit from that purchase.
