Dem boys know a man who tek de warning serious. De man buy raincoat, umbrella and long boots. De man buy some sandbags and put it round he house so dat when de flood start, de water nah gan get in de ground floor of de house.

But de man wah buy de umbrella, de raincoat, de long boots and de sandbags counting he losses. De losses wah it cost he fuh buy all dem thing fuh prepare fuh floods.
