"taking the pounding"
"Evening, as I say. I sit down on the stool in front of the mortar, lifting the pestle and watching my hands bring it down to crush the plantains lying down there to take the pounding that will break them down, mix them up and make them stiff and good for eating; and I wondering if the world is a mortar and we is the plaintains below the pestle, taking the pounding".
