the plums at the top of the tree

are tantalizing me with their luscious golden ripe and juicy little bodies.

i'm a pretty good monkey, for my age, but there's no way i can get at them. so they bob up there, winking at me in the sunshine, until a crow stops by and does my work for me.

crows!

it's a really big tree -- a couple of stories -- and they're really small plums, but their flavour is good. i wonder if they were always that small, or if they 'went wild' and got tiny, or something.

how.
do.
i.
get.
them
?

(and. what. would. i. bake. if. i. could?)

if i were you, i would:

1) send the boy up the tree.
2) make plum jam.
3) bring some to me.

I think you should climb my neighbor's tree more often, except its really wet now and the soggy leaves aren't worth the climb when you can stay where its safe and catch them on your tongue. - N8pop
