Abundant Avocado


John lived in the heart of a very
green tree.  It was huge and
provided a lot of shade during the hot
summer months. It had
some odd-looking green fruit which was
very hard.  Occasionally one of
the fruits would fall down with a thump.  This
always frightened him as it was very
loud.  As the colder weather approached John suddenly
lost his
job.  His pantry started to
look empty.  He worried as he realised winter is on the
way and he would be without food.  He
started looking for what he could gather
but realised that he was already too late.  The
animals had already harvested their
winter reserves.


He sat under his tree, slowly eating the last of his
berry stash when that green fruit
dropped. This time not with a thump,
but more a splotch.  John picked
up the fruit. It was soft to the
touch and a soft yellowy green paste
was oozing out where the skin was
broken.  Gingerly he tasted
it.  It was amazing!  Rich and creamy and
soft.  John looked up at the tree and saw lots and lots
of green fruit, ripening and waiting
to be eaten.  With a whistle and a spring
in his step, he smiled, grabbed
a branch, swung into the tree and
enjoyed his abundance.


Yes, of course it was an avocado tree.


Last week this story was sent as an email in my newsletter, were
you able to check the pronunciation for some of the words.
