Going Going Gone Bananas (at the Court)

A four-footer banana tree planted inside the Guma Husticia building in Susupe has been bearing fruits. Captivated by the nature’s miracle, on Feb. 12, 2007, I decided to take this photo.



During my routine court patrol on Feb. 20, 2007, I noticed that the banana fruits had fully grown.



During another day’s routine court patrol on Feb. 26, 2007, I was overjoyed upon observing that two banana fruits were already ripe.



But two days later, Feb. 28, 2007, this is what i saw...



I could not stop laughing because somebody had already harvested the two ripe bananas. While taking another picture, one court employee called me and with a big smile showed me the second missing banana fruit he had just harvested and ready to chow.
