One lovely Monday, I was busy counting the clouds outside my window when there was a knock at the front door. My mother went to answer. It was the delivery man bringing a package. With my name on it!!!

It wasn’t my birthday and I wasn’t in any hurry, so I opened it very slowly. It was a package with beautiful colors. On the box, it read “Fruit colors”. I had never heard of fruit colors before, so I put it on the shelf.

On Tuesday the delivery man returned with a basket of white apples. I knew what I had to do.

On Wednesday the delivery man brought me a basket of white grapes. That was even more fun.

I waited on Friday for the delivery man. “What fruits will he bring me today?” I thought to myself. Instead, he brought me another package.

Sure enough, at the end of the week, the delivery man showed up with another package. It wasn’t my birthday and I wasn’t in any hurry, so I opened it very slowly.

When the delivery man arrived the next day, we were not at home. In fact, we left town in quite a hurry and now live in another country. There is a new sign on our front door: “No more deliveries, please!”
