THROWING

Tim leng geng Throw dragon eyes

Ho boey keng A good life follows

Tim ho kam Throw good oranges

T'an ho ang Will bring a good husband

Tim p'ing ko Throw apples

T'an ho bor And get a good wife

Tim chio t'au Throw stones

K'i ang mor lau And build a bungalow

Tim ang cho Throw red dates

Ban soo ho Everything will be o.k.

Letter

FROM Tony Wee: My mother-in-law says that two lines are missing from Tek Gar Kee (Issue No 3 - CONCORDANCE). The ending should be:

O lo tiong hoo
Ho peck jee

REPLY by Raymond Kwok: Tek gar kee ends with Gow kar see which makes sense. I have never heard the jingle ending with the two lines quoted
