Chapter 29 Kanazawa's Banana (2)

"But, no matter how you look at it, it's a banana!" I didn't give up and continued to peel.At this moment, many audience members came out from the nearby residential area. I took the banana-shaped thing in my hand and stood up. Surrounded by me were seven or eight boys who looked like they were in the third grade of elementary school.I showed them what I had, and asked a boy: "Look, what does this thing look like?" The boy replied loudly, "Banana!" The boy's voice was crisp, like a little girl's. I was so happy that I showed it to another child, who puffed up his chest and said loudly:

"banana!" The other children also said in unison: "banana!" At this moment, two aunts walked up, both wearing clothes for working in the field, and they could be seen at a glance as experts in doing farm work. I went over and asked them: "Excuse me, do you think this looks like a banana?" The aunt glanced at the things in my hand and said immediately: "Not like!" "Really? Oh, I know it's a cucumber, but at first glance, don't you think it looks like a banana?" Without a smile on their faces, the two aunts said: "Not like. Because it's a cucumber!"

"Really? Sorry to bother you..." My aunt is an expert in farm work, so it is only natural that this thing looks like a cucumber. As a result, my mistaking a cucumber for a banana became a running joke on the show.I felt very unconvinced, and said at the end of the program: "We will put this thing at the gate of Hokuriku Radio Station. Please take a look when you pass by. It really looks like a banana!" Ms. Kanemori was very kind, and she made an appointment with me to put this yellow thing on the front desk of Hokuriku Radio Station, and put the opinion book next to it.

From the next day, many people poured into the gate of Hokuriku Broadcasting Station, took that thing in their hands and observed it carefully, and then wrote down their opinions.According to Ms. Jinsen, the vast majority of people wrote "like a banana", and some of them bit the thing to see what it was.I feel relieved, it does look like a banana! Since then though, whenever I go to Kanazawa, someone meets me on the street and laughs and says: "Banana...hahaha..."
