And so it begins.

AnaBanana - A tale of no ordinary banana

This is tale of AnaBanana, a special banana who can walk and talk to other bananas.This is a small fairy tale which the author made up for five year old children and younger. But I love this story very much. How can I go without writing the story in my first day posts :) And this is the reason why I don’t eat bananas :P

Beginning
AnaBanana was born to a wealthy family. The family lived on the tallest tree overlooking the whole field of banana trees. While she was young she was living with 221 cousins in the same bunch. But after a month or so, she began to discover that she was different from all her cousins. She could detach from a bunch and move around. She could visit all the other trees and make friends there.
Time flew for AnaBanana, she was making hundreds of friends every day and the end of the day she would tells her cousins about her day. This was their favorite part of the day, listening to her about all the friends she had met. But soon something terrible has happened.

The journey
But then she heard a voice:”Hey, AnaBanana” it said.
She turned around and saw one banana hanging from a nearby tree. She recognized him immediately. It was one of the oldest bananas, they called him WiseBanana. He said:”Don’t cry. People came and took your bunch.”
She said:”How can I not cry, all my cousins are gone?”
WiseBanana replied: “Well, this is our destiny, we live so we can give energy to animals and people. That is our purpose in life. And soon new bananas ill be born in the place of your cousins and friends.”
“But where are they taking them?” she asked.
“The legend goes they take these bananas to far away place, over the oceans to hungry people who need them” he replied.
Anabanana thought about it for a while then she asked:”Which way did they go, I want to go with them.”

So the WiseBanana pointed her the right direction and off she went. Soon she came to a courtyard filled with boxes. While she was walking around she could hear bananas screaming inside, but she couldn’t help them. Soon she found a box with her cousins in them.
“Wait, I’ll try to rescue you” AnaBanana screamed. But as much as she tried, she couldn’t open the box. She was so caught up in trying to open the box that she didn’t even notice a worker who snuck behind her. He picked her up and threw her in one of the boxes. She tried to break free but she couldn’t. Soon she smelled something weird, She was used to the outdoors, to the clean air filled with the smell of sweet bananas. But this was something different and it made her sleepy…

Captivity
When AnaBanana woke up she was freezing. She was on the floor and above her she could see all of her friends an cousins hanging. The room was dark so she could hardly see. She was used to fresh air and plenty of sun and this dark, cold environment was making her sick. She slowly got up, all of her body aching like she slept for 2 months straight.
Once she got used to the dark, she started looking around and she soon discovered that there were more than just bananas in the room. She started walking around and soon came to a strange thing which looked like a huge green ball. She asked:”Who are you?”
And the ball replied:”I am a watermelon. And who are you?”
AnaBanana replied:”I am a banana.”
And as she started talking to it she found out that she came from a world far different from her own. Soon she started talking to all this different fruits, making new friends. And she was again happy.

Then one day she heard somebody coming. She quickly hid between other bananas. She could feel she was being moved and she could feel all other bananas in her bunch trembling with fear. Then she saw the light for the first time in weeks. And as she looked around she saw people running around everywhere, and she couldn’t understand where she was. The man who picked her up in the storage room now put her on the shelf. And there were all these people looking at her. She could see an old lady touching all the bananas feeling how soft they are. Then she picked 3 of her friends, put them in her basket and left. Now she understood that they were the hungry people WiseBanana talked about. Soon she was sorry she came on the journey. But then she saw a young boy in the crowd who seemed nice. He was quietly looking at them and she moved around so she was right in front of him. He picked her up and carried her to her mom who put her in the basket and they took her home.

The end
Soon the young boy realized this was no ordinary banana. When he tried to pick her up to eat her she would move around and hid behind other fruits. The boy and AnaBanana soon became friends and they are friends to this day.
