The doorbell woke me from my midday nap. I groggily answered the front door. The pleasant looking young man smiled at me. \u2018My wife and I were going past your place,\u2019 he said, \u2018and we noticed all the oranges under the tree. I wondered if you could spare a few? They seem to be going to waste.\u2019
\n\u2018Of course,\u2019 I replied,\u2019 you can take as many as you like. Do you have a bag?\u2019 He assured me he had one in the car, adding that they had just put in an application to rent a house down the road, and that they were looking forward to living on this mountain.
\n\u2018Do you like lemonades?\u2019 I asked. \u2018There are plenty next to the orange tree. And what about limes? Look at all those beautiful fruit under the tree at the end of the row!\u2019 He assured me they loved them all, so I told him to take plenty. \u2018Make sure you get good ones,\u2019 I instructed, \u2018and make sure you enjoy them!\u2019 The smile did not leave his face as he started down the steps. Then he turned.
\n\u2018Do you like honey?\u2019 he asked as I nodded my tousled old head. \u2018I\u2019ll bring you a jar next time I\u2019m up here.\u2019 And I am sure he will not forget. No matter if he does; it gave me great pleasure to share my bounty with someone who appreciated it. I have had my reward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
