1302

 Although the future gathers in vine, bush, and tree: Persimmon, walnut, loquat, fig, and grape; still, Aesop's fox cared not for tomorrow, but only for the destruction of his opponent's now


Imagine looking at a lush bunch of green grapes and calling them sour! Left to me i'd ask to sample one before purchasing, not relying on or accepting his lie.


Fruit and nut although delicious ingredients for a Christmas black cake, i relish the rum, ceiling in the flavours, adding a much cherished, umph!

    Nicely done, Gillena, playing with the fox from one of Aesop’s fables.

    That’s kind of fun, integrating the fox from Aesop’s tales. I guess also ending with a bit of rum is fun as well.

    Gillena, wise observations, and thank you for the cake recipe link. Sounds like a fruit cake I might enjoy (minus the currants!)

    Nice read, Gillena. Not many places here in Texas allow sampling before buying.

    The fox's intention of causing harm today really is a strong metaphor.
