In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 2.  they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit.

But he s 6.  continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said，“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
