And every now and then I'd find some strange unidentifiable fruits. "What's that?" I asked. The kids said, "Apple." I stared at them and sought clarification. "Apple? But the apples I know look totally different!" Then the kids added, "These are monkey apples." I tried a piece. Apples they surely are not. These fruits should be sued for false advertisement. They're sweet, but give off no juice or flesh. I felt like a sucker, because sucking was the only thing I could do with the fruit.
Well, I felt like a sucker again today. I bought four of these little fruits. The street vendor assured me that they're sweet. I later realized I asked the wrong question. I should've asked if they're meaty. Just like monkey apples, these are for sucking only. I didn't bother to ask for its name.
