The King Of Fruits

There was a time when there was an abundance of fruits. Everyone was very satisfied with the number of fruits and did not stop buying them as they felt that fruits were ‘Unlimited’. However, such abundance posed problems. As the number of fruits was high, many fruits were thrown away as they were getting rotten.

Amy the apple wanted to put an end to this. She called her friend, Gary the guava. They found out that if they thought of a scheme, they would get more people to buy them. (In that land it was known that fruits could talk.) They called their friend, Grim the grape, and thought of a scheme for more people to buy them. Next time shoppers came to the bazaar, “You do not need to peel us, just eat us straight!” they advertised.

More people bought apples, guavas, and grapes. This posed problems. Other fruits were not being bought and were thrown away. They felt unhappy. They were not willing to leave the farm now. This caused a widespread shortage of oranges and mangoes.

Marty the mango wanted to solve this. He called his friend, Oscar the orange to help him sort this out. Marty then explained that they must set up another ad. They needed to persuade the people to buy fruits with peels that must be removed. ‘A gift is covered by wrapping paper, as such a delicious fruit is covered by a peel’. Everyone realized that they were not buying other fruits. “We have realized why the other fruits are unhappy,” people said.

People realized that Marty had been smart in persuading them to eat peeled fruits. They liked his thinking and decided to make him the king. Therefore, mangoes are called the king of fruits, them being Marty’s ancestors. But one day, some evil fruits who did not like Marty, protested in front of the fruit stall. “Oh, dear! Another problem to solve!” Marty sighed. Hahahahah…This is life.
