Coconut
Duncan couldn’t wait to pick up this old coconut that had fallen from the tree. “Totonut”, is how he pronouces the word. 
He kept telling me he wanted to drink some coconut juice so my mother got busy and got a few young coconuts for us to enjoy. After a sip of the coconut water, he did not want to drink it. The coconut water was sweet enough but it did not quite taste like the coconut water he was used to drinking .. the kind that had some syrup added to it when we order it from a restaurant!
Oh well, more coconut water and tasty young coconut flesh for me to enjoy!

Puteri,
Tell that boy not to stand under the coconut tree! Too bad I’m not there, I’d gladly drink the coconut water he didn’t want.

Yes, I tell him to stay away from coconut trees! Who knows when one might fall on him, eh?!

Ahh … the tree and fruit of 100 uses. I remember this biology or was it nature lesson in school. Enjoy another coconut on my behalf, Puteri!

Rita, I remember that lesson very well too! Here’s one (raising a top-opened coconut) for you!
