Tuesday, September 23 - "Strange Fruit"

That fruit you see over there, my friend, is known as a dragonfruit. It smells like flaming breath, and tastes like the divine flavor of vanilla ice cream. You can even see so by looking at the inside! It is grown in a place where people believe the dragons have blessed that land for growing their delicious fruit, a land where dragons and humans coexist! This place, named Kawikarunikai, is found nowhere on this earth, for it is lost, somewhere between Florida and the Bahamas. There used to be several kinds of dragonfruit. There was mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, peanut butter, chocolate, and even rocky road! The only one that made it to this day was the vanilla, but it goes great with chocolate syrup, or anything else that tastes good with vanilla. The dragons told these people to take good care of the flavor. But humans are humans. Based off of this fiery scented luxury food after it was lost, we began using milk, and flavoring from the remaining fruits, salt, and ice, to make something that tasted just like the kind they had before! Kids and adults all around the world are enjoying this new dessert, but never gave thanks to the dragons. Long forgotten, the dragonfruit was cursed to taste like any regular fruit, and now nobody eats it, because the dragons also raised the price tags in all the American stores. The short story of the overly priced dragonfruit, is now the epic tale of what it was, and should be again.
