Overview

In the Caribbean, using parables were a part of every day life. My grandparents were well versed in the local parables. It seems at times I can still hear them saying to me, "Every day bucket goes to well one day the bottom will drop out." meaning "Those who takes risky chances will eventually pay the price." or "Walk good" meaning "Have a safe journey." Speaking parables in the Caribbean is done with a blend of two or more dialects between the remnants of African dialects, Patois, Creole and the prominent Spanish and French dominated by English. The grammar in these parables might seem to be somewhat off; an adjustment of the Caribbean dialect was made to accommodate all cultures. I was curious to find information on parables but after several hours of search the only information available were discussion on the sixty six parables of Jesus. So far I have no luck in finding anyone who actually has written any parables. I hope these parables can stand the test of time as Jesus' did.
