Transcription
As far as I was concerned, they didn’t bother us too much. They didn’t bother us there in Sham Shui Po too much. They used to give some of the flour to some of those Hindus there and they’d make pancakes and they’d roll that on their feet and the Hindus would make signs for me to come over and he’d give me a pancake about that size, and I’d eat that and I found it good. But it’s the rice, like I tell you, we had rice and the rice we had to eat. It was steamed rice and there were, it was filthy. I’ll tell you the truth. There were worms, yellow worms with black heads, there were bed bugs, there were mice cruts, there were rat cruts. That’s all that, the most was in that. It’s hard to say, to have to pick out that there might have been about five or six grains of rice. The rest was all filthy and we had to eat that, eat it or starve to death.
