I'm going bananas! I love bananas! This is just for you, my banana Valentine!
A man who was visiting a monastery in Nepal found a monk smiling in front of an altar.
- Why are you smiling? He asked the monk
- Oh, just because I understand the meaning of bananas!
The monk opened his bag and took out a rotten banana. - This fruit represents some of our past moments, the ones which were supposed to be nice but for some reason we're not able to make good use of them. Now it's too late!
Then he took a green banana and said: - This banana represents some of our future moments which are still awaiting to happen so we can't enjoy it right now!
- And this one here , yellow and juicy, represents our present moment, it's the perfect banana! The correct fruit, the exact moment! Let us eat it without fear!
Paulo Coelho, from the book Maktub
Yummiiiie!
