Oh ! my
God story NO. 26
Yasuto Nishitani
Big bananas and American strawberries
that tell a lie
American fruits are the same as Japanese
fruits.
Apples, grapes, oranges and pears have the
same shape and taste
as Japanese ones.
But I am surprised sometimes when I see the
big ones.
For example, there is a kind of banana
that is five times as big
as the regular ones.
A Japanese woman tried to eat a big banana
but gave up after eating
about a half.
Because she was full.
This big banana has a wild shape and color.
They may be from Bahama.
By the way, my big surprise was an American
strawberry.
They are very red and look delicious.
They are dreamlike strawberries.
Some of them are five times as big as
Japanese strawberries.
At first I bit into them with a big expectation in my heart.
But I was surprised because they were not
sweet.
They are hard, too.
I felt like eating a cucumber or tasteless
pickled daikon (takuan).
Oh ! my God.
I recommend you to eat these strawberries
with a touch of salt
when you don't have
picked daikon.
