It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Mum asked me on an errand to get her clothes from her seamstress . She was going to wear it for a wedding that day.

So I set out under the umbrella. It has started raining but not heavy. On getting there, the seamstress hadn't opened shop. I called mum on phone to inform her. On my way returning, I stopped by an older friend's place. Mum told me he came asking after me some days before but I wasn't around.

He told me he brought green coconut for me then. They have a coconut tree planted in their compound. On request, he plucked some green coconut.

He skillfully cut off some part with cutlass so the coconut water can be accessed. The coconut water was really sweet😋 . You can drink the water with a straw, or a glass or directly . Then he divided the coconut into two. And the soft flesh ,coconut meat was removed with a steel spoon. It was quite tender and delicious ☺️ too.
