There were some fruit trees around Nga Tsin Wai Village which were taken care of by the residents whose homes were nearest to them. Children in the village were allowed to pick guava, longan and wampee from the trees at will, usually removing the fruits with a spear before placing them in their mouths. Of all the trees, the longans were tallest and only children were allowed to pick its fruits. The children did not steal eggs and vegetables. When the village’s farmers had surplus produce, they gave it away to their neighbours as a present. There was a fruit and a sauce plant near Nga Tsin Wai. 12 to 13-year-old local kids did like to steal dried plums from bamboo woven screens placed on shelves of the fruit plant for sun-drying. As the factory was surrounded by barbed wire, the youngsters used hooks to steal the dried fruit through wire gaps, taking care not to drop their booty.
