Excerpt from Two Ways: And Other Stories The stillness Of the lazy South Carolina day was broken by the frail waa-waa Of a new pickaninny. The pickaninny's father had been anticipating the event. The first thing he said was, I hope it's a boy. I've got a good name picked Out for him. Mr. Hill had selected the name Of Leeuwenhoek for his son. The name was changed without Mr. Hill's consent because the local populace rebelled at the effort it required to pronounce it. Several substitute names were suggested by friends and neighbors. After a considerable amount Of heated debate, the name Of Roy was finally chosen. Boy was easy to pronounce and, moreover, a few Of the better educated citizens were able to spell it if you gave them a little time.
