Old White Man The adults and children in our village always call him "Old White Man". I heard from my grandma that once old white people reach the age of sixty, they stop washing their faces and feet. Grandma is only five years younger than the old white man. The seventy-year-old grandma imitated the tone of the old white man and said: "I just won't wash it. I want people to be afraid of ghosts and live to be a hundred years old." His son made a coffin for him, but he secretly asked someone to come and sell it at a low price. He also raised fat pigs to use for his funeral. He hunted pigs whenever he had time. Old white men are not white. He has been wearing black clothes and black trousers for many years, and his still thick hair is sticky and greasy from years of not washing it. At first glance, it looks like he is carrying a pile of cow dung.
