Handa put seven delicious fruits in a
basket for her friend, Akeyo.
She will be surprised, thought Handa as she
set off for Akeyo’s village.
I wonder which fruit she’ll like best?
Will she like the soft yellow banana…
or the sweet-smelling guava?
Will she like the round juicy orange…
or the ripe red mango?
Will she like the spiky-leaved pineapple…
the creamy green avocado…
or the tangy purple passion-fruit?
Which fruit will Akeyo like best?
“Hello, Akeyo,” said Handa. “I’ve brought
you a surprise.”
“Tamgerines!” said Akeyo. “My favourite
fruit.”
”TANGERINES?” said Handa. “That is a
surprise!”
