The Book of Rather Short Unnecessary Stories

Banana Life

Once there was a banana named Ben Banan. Ben Banan lived happily in the store along with all his banana friends and banana family, the Banans. Ben Banan liked his life in the market, a shelf next to the apples and right next to the apple family, the Adams. He liked talking to his apple friend, Paul Adams, about going out to the wild world of the gummy bears, the north pole of the dairy and the south pole of the meat, talking to the chocolate (rumor is they are very sweet to talk to), being lifted by people and calling the cart taxi service and being drove around the store instead of being picked up and go out of the store like "normal" fruits and vegetables. Ben's family didn't want Ben to do such things. They told him he will have a normal life like everyone. Ben Banan and Paul Adam's parents told them they were fearless, but they were actually worried, and some people said they were crazy.

But, Ben Banan didn't want to give up on his dream, and he convinced Paul Adams to join him. They created a whole plan on how to get out to other sections of the store.

But, as soon as they were about to execute the plan, Ben Banan felt something wrapping around him and he was lifted up and put down in a cart. Ben Banan was scared, and he was even more scared when he was put in a cart. The cart moved, and he eventually closed his eyes and waited until he stood still.

Paul Adams was scared at the same time, and he wanted to save his friend. He needed to get on that cart, but the man already went out. He waited, and waited, and waited, then by a miracle, the man came back and as soon as the man was close enough, Paul jumped into the man's plastic bag. Paul was so happy, he could now save his friend. When they were out of the store, Paul was put in the backside of a metal machine with wheels and a door closed in front of him, making Paul shake with fear as it made a loud noise. It was dark and he could feel the machine moving. He wanted so badly to get out, and when he did he was so happy once again. Paul was put in a bowl, and then saw his friend Ben Banan. He shouted Ben's name and gave him a hug. Ben looked terrified though, and Paul asked him what happened.

"You see that?" Ben Banan asked. He was pointing out to what seemed like a plastic box with something mashed in it. Paul nodded. "You see what's inside it?" Ben continued.

Paul again nodded.

"Those are fruits. Dead fruits. That's where we are going." Ben Banan whispered. Paul felt scared, and he didn't know what to do. But then, just then, they saw what they both were told was something called a dog. They saw the dog walking towards the door, that had a door especially for dogs to go out and jumped on the dog's back before it could leave. They jumped off as soon as they were out and lived a happy life.
