Grapefruit

I got up early and went outside to a grapefruit tree. I pulled off a grapefruit and sat under the tree and peeled it. I started to eat the sections. I felt the tree shift a little behind me.

The Tree said, “How is it?”

I said, “It’s delicious. You did a great job!”

The Tree said, “Wow, thanks. I had a feeling it was a good batch. So what brings you to town?”

I said, “I’m here to do publicity for my new book, “Clutter Busting: Letting Go of What’s Holding You Back.”

The Tree said, “I make grapefruit. You write about how to get rid of clutter. We like to help out.”

I said, “I hope my book is as delicious as your fruit.”

The Tree said, “I’ll order a copy from Amazon and let you know what I think.”

I said, “Thanks.”
