lan released the fruit from his grasp, bent down, and gently rubbed the little girl’s head.

He said with a smile, “Since it’s not ripe yet, it’s not delicious, Give it some time.”

Seeing her disappointment, Ian tried a different approach to persuade her.

“It’s trying to improve its flavor. Just give it some time, lan said.

“Is that so?” Yvonne looked up at him.

Yvonne said. “Uncle, I just started kindergarten. You can’t fool me!”

“I’m serious, Ian chuckled. “The longer it takes to grow, the better it tastes.”
