"Daryl" - insta-yarn

The ancient Maori believed that you didn't find jade in a stream - it revealed itself to you. That's why Daryl didn't turn on the metal detector on most mornings in the sand near the Newie baths. He'd just sway it from side-to-side like the metronome on Mrs Kowalczyk's piano during those after-school lessons 40 years ago. They'd always be followed by her home-baked apple strudel with cinnamon. If he just stuck with the sway, somebody'd always come along. "What you looking for?" Or, "get any today?".
