Orange and train

361 views. 2012-10-22 09:19 |

Now it’s the season to eat oranges. You never know how I like eating oranges. I can eat five to seven oranges once.  It seems I like all the fruits with a little sour. I like grapes, grapefruits, kivi, strawberries and so on.

 

When I was a child , I really liked to go to my eldest aunt’s home in fall. There were two reasons for that.

 

 One is I can see trains. Especially I loved to see the trains go by at nights, you could see the strong bright lights went through trees and came to my aunt’s yard. The lights of compartments were the most beautiful scenery at night for me. They were brighter than the stars and the moon,   though the bright light was not as beautiful as the fireworks.

 

The other is I can eat oranges as many as I can. My aunts had lots of orange trees. I still remember the first time I went to my aunt’s home with my brother. Both of us like eating oranges very much. We began to pick and eat  the biggest oranges as soon as we arrived. Our aunt warned us not to eat too much or we would regret, but we didn’t care about what she said. Is it possible to make a hungy man not mouth water facing his delicious food? We wouldn’t leave until we were too full to eat.

 

However, you know you must pay something to gain something. No one can gain without paying the price. Even you won a lottery, before that you had to buy a lottery first. It’s better not to be too greedy. We had to pay our price for our greediness. So when dinner was ready, you know the results our teeth were too sour to eat anything. It was a great painful thing that you wanted to eat but you couldn’t.

Such an impressive and happy scene you have described. I would be very happy too if my family have a fruit orchard like the ones you described. Indeed trains are interesting and I love to watch them roar past too. I spent my childhood watching ships at the seaside.

My aunt has a big orchard, so all of my cousins were happy to go her home.  When all the oranges become red, they are like lanterns hang on the trees.

  I never take a ship to somewhere.  I always think it is cool to row a boat.

haha, some people like sweet food, some people like sour food. There is a saying that one man's meat is aonther man's poison.

so if you are thirsty , maybe you can just think something sour. wow if so, you can save water.
