Four Papayas

When we moved into our new place, we found that the previous tennants had left an old papaya tree in a garbage bin next to the house. Most of the leaves had falled off, but it did have four dark green papayas: A big one for Daddy, a smaller big one for Mama, a medium one for me (Peter), and a tenny weeny one for my little brother Paul. So Daddy moved the tree into our back yard, and we all kept watering it. Soon new leaves appeared, and the papayas gew a little bigger.

Two months later, the medium Papaya, which was mine, suddenly turned bright yellow. I asked to pick it for a whole week, and eventually Momma and Daddy gave in. It was very ripe and delicious!

Now it looks like the big Daddy Papaya is turning yellow, too, so soon we'll harvest another one. Yum!
