Miss Lim did feel a lot better when she left Candy's house. Yes, that story was most interesting, and she was going to try it tonight. After all these years of not knowing, she now had a way to see what her banana man looked like.
And maybe Candy would let her use the gardener for a day or two, to restore her backyard garden to its former glory. With all the plans running through her grey head, Miss Lim did feel better. She put on her best dress and went out to do some shopping.
While she was at the stores, she had a conversation with another woman, who told her that she also had a banana tree in her garden. It had been there several years now, but did not bear any fruit. They continued to discuss their tree, but Miss Lim was not paying her much attention. The mention of the banana tree had reminded her of what she would do tonight, to see her banana man.

That night, at 8pm. Miss Lim crept out into her garden. The only thing left of her tree was a short stump, but she knew it would spring up and grow into a tree. After all it wasn't really a tree, was it?
She looked around to make sure nobody was watching, then she pulled up her dress, squat down and pee on the tree stump. She took a few steps away, bent down and looked between her legs.
Ming was standing at the window. "Hey, Candy, your Miss Lim next door just peed in her garden."
"You saw that?" said Candy laughing. "Well, I told her to do that, it's just a story I heard. She is supposed to be able to see what her banana man looked like when she looked between her legs."
Ming opened the back door and walked into the garden. He wanted to take a closer look at what that funny Miss Lim was doing. He saw her face upside down, between her open legs staring at him.
Miss Lim laughed to herself. So, my banana man looks like Ming the gardener. That's not a bad idea. She ought to ask Candy to send Ming over. Miss Lim wanted to see if Ming was as good as he looked. The thought made her moist and horny.
"Ming, do you think Candy would let you come over for a few days to help me out?"
"I'm sure she won't mind," Ming answered, his face just over the fence, and this time Miss Lim caught the earthy smell of his breath.
