婆婆嘅香蕉

婆婆有個好靚嘅花園,種滿晒啲高粱,小米同埋木薯,但係咁多嘢入面最好嘅就係香蕉。婆婆雖然有好多孫仔孫女,但係我心入面知道佢最鍾意我㗎。佢時時都會請我嚟佢屋企玩,講啲小秘密俾我聽。但係有一個秘密佢從來都冇試過同我講,就係佢催熟香蕉嘅辦法。

1

有一日,我見到婆婆放咗一個巨大嘅草籃喺門外。我問婆婆呢個係攞嚟做咩嘢嘅,但係婆婆就單單話:「呢個係我嘅神秘籃仔。」喺籃仔一邊放咗幾塊香蕉葉,婆婆間中都會去翻轉啲葉幾下。我好好奇,就問婆婆:「呢啲葉係攞嚟做咩嘢嘅?」但係婆婆只係應咗一句:「呢啲係我嘅神秘葉仔。」

我好好奇噉睇住婆婆、香蕉、香蕉葉仲有嗰個巨大嘅草籃。但係婆婆就打發咗我去媽咪嗰便幫手。我噅住婆婆就話:「俾我留响度睇吓啦!」但係婆婆就堅持話:「唔好咁硬頸啦,小朋友,照我講嘅去做啦。」我唯有走開囉。

到我返嚟嗰陣時,婆婆正坐喺外便唞吓,但係就唔見個籃同香蕉!我就問婆婆:「個籃去咗邊度呀?香蕉去咗邊度呀?仲有嗰啲……」但係婆婆只係應咗一句:「佢哋都喺一個神秘嘅地方。」我好失望!

過咗兩日時間,婆婆就叫我由佢間房度攞佢支士的嚟俾佢。我一打開道門,就聞到朕熟香蕉嘅味道。原來婆婆嘅神秘籃仔就擺响佢間房度!上面𢫏咗條舊毛氈,我揭開條毛氈,大力噉聞嗰朕香噴噴嘅味道。

5

婆婆嗌我嘅時候,嚇咗我一跳:「你喺度做緊乜嘢?快啲攞我支士的嚟。」我趕緊攞咗支士的出去俾婆婆。婆婆睇住我,就問:「你喺度笑緊乜嘢呀?」我先至意識到,我仲喺度因為發現咗呢個神奇嘅秘密而偷笑緊。

6

第二日呢,婆婆嚟睇我媽咪,我又走到婆婆屋企去偷睇嗰啲熟香蕉。有一梳香蕉已經非常之熟嘞。我摘咗一條香蕉,收埋咗佢喺我條裙仔度。𢫏返好個籃仔之後,我就走到間屋後面,偷偷噉食咗條香蕉:呢個絕對係我食過最好味嘅香蕉嚟!

7

第二日,我趁婆婆喺花園度摘蔬菜嘅時候,又偷偷走入佢間房去睇嗰啲香蕉。啲香蕉差唔多全部都熟晒嘞。我就頂唔順誘惑,攞咗四條香蕉。我趷高腳離開佢間房,就聽到婆婆喺度咳緊。我收埋啲香蕉喺條裙仔下底,好似乜都冇發生過噉就走開咗。

8

第二日係婆婆趁墟打市嘅日子。婆婆好早就起身,佢將成熟咗嘅香蕉同木薯運到墟場度去賣。我嗰日冇急住去睇佢,但係我知道,我冇可能永遠避開婆婆。

9

嗰日挨晚,我被爹哋媽咪同埋婆婆叫咗過去。我知道佢哋點解搵我。嗰日晚上,當我上床瞓覺嘅時候,我知道我再又唔會偷嘢啦,唔偷婆婆嘅,唔偷爹哋媽咪嘅,邊個啲嘢都唔可以再偷。
