The Fruit Seller's Ploy


These days, even the fruit sellers are up to their tricks. The law of the jungle has really come down hard upon society.

Overheard: On special occasions, the Chinese community will hold prayers for their deities, particularly on the 15th day of the new moons. They will buy fruits as offerings to the gods.

On such days, the fruit sellers will gang up and sell the 'ugliest and almost rotting' fruits to the buyers. In spite of their complaints, customers still buy as they need the fruits.

I believe the gods will soon be angry with these profiteering cheats. So they better watch out for the wrath of the gods!
