Strong Horse Tea......................... Alice Walker

“Why don’t that doctor come on here?”

“I don’t believe in none of that swamp magic. All the old remedies I took when I was a child come Just Short of killing me”.

" We don't need none of your witch's remedies."

" The only thing that can save this child now is some good strong horse tea."

"The only thing. And if you wants him out of the bed you better make tracks to git some."

"Quickly she stuck her mouth there, over the crack, and ankle deep in the slippery mud of the pasture and freezing in her shabby wet coat, she ran home to give the still warm horse tea to her baby Snooks."
 


A mother would do anything to save their child’s life even if they had  to sacrifice their own life. The Snooks cannot be cured. Rannie realized that Sarah is the only person that would be able to save her baby.  Sarah sends Rannie to get the Horse tea so, she can have time to herself ,and realized that her son was going to die.
