Hi! I am an orange. I live in an orchard in the countryside with my friends. I really love my life in there, except that one day I was sleeping peacefully when the farmer plucked me. I was soo scared and I thought that was the end for me. But he just threw me in a basket filled with other oranges. And then he took us to a truck and put us in a bigger basket. I was rolling and jumping inside the basket whenever he picks it up and puts it. Anyway, we drove 2 hours to somewhere, I don't know where. He opened the back side of the car and picked us and gave the basket to a man. Then this man took us to a kitchen in a very big supermarket filled with products and people and of course I was wondering what he will do next. I thought he will just keep us in a place, but boy, I was wrong. I freaked out when I heard that the man will take the half of the oranges and turn them into juice and the other half for sale. But thanks to god, I was going to be sold but not turned into juice or whatever. I and some of other oranges went to a fridge in the market, and actually it was cold in there. It was almost 12 or 16 degree Celsius. But anyway that's much better than to be an orange juice. Everything was going well until a woman was about to pick me up but her kid came and called her. It was a miracle I guess. I little bit tried to roll and move to somewhere else but I couldn't. The day almost went in that way. The workers closed the market and went to their home. I was soo happy. I wanted to escape from the market, but the lights are off. I could only see one light from the center of the market, which is the water fountain. In fact, I was kind of thirsty so I rolled and rolled and reached there. I drank some water and I started to look for a window. But I couldn't find any. So I just went to where I belong and slept.
