Lots of bananas that
mamma used to send me for
tasted green when we got
them, or they were almost
rotten. That was because
we traded at the grocery
that didn't care much
about its customers. You
know it is nice to trade
at a plaoe where they
treat you nice. If you go
to the right plaoe you
can get
dosen bananas for 40o
dosen oranges for 40c
These fruits will
always be good too
