Wax Apple

Wax Apple
Walking along the market, a beautiful red fruit looking like a bell catches my eyes. It is a tropical fruit named "Wax Apple",Taiwanese calling it "Len Bu". It tastes light sweet with fresh good smell. In Taiwan fruits market, the best sweetest Wax Apples are nicknamed " Black Pearl" and" Black Diamond."
They have darker red color,best flavor and the highest price.
Seeing Wax Apple always reminds me to think of Provincial Tainan Girl's Middle School. The WaxApple trees grew around the campus. Every spring,
all the trees bloomed white flowers with good smell and then bore lots of fruits in the summer. Bunches of fruits with colors changing from white, pale green, green to red, we were waiting for them to mature. When mature time our teacher promised us to pick up them .The tree was a heavy bearer, yielding a crop of up to hundreds fruits. At rich harvest time was a wonderful remember.
In California ,I never saw Wax Apple in the market. It's really delicious and the
most highly prized fruits in Taiwan.
蓮霧
走在菓菜市場，一種紅色長得像鈴鐺的水菓，總是吸引我佇足欣賞。它是一種熱帶水果，名叫蓮霧。它的味道清甜嚐起來有淡淡的菓香。在台灣水菓市場最甜的蓮霧叫黑珍珠，黑金剛。它們色澤較深紅，口味更甜，價位更高。
看到蓮霧總會牽動我懷念起台南女中，想念當年環繞蓮霧樹的校園。每年春天，所有的蓮霧樹開滿了白色的小花，散發著淡淡的清香。到了夏天，看著它們慢慢結出一串串的小菓實，漸漸的菓實由白色轉成淡綠，由綠而紅。我們翹首仰望等候它們成熟。當成熟時，老師答應我們可以採摘。每棵蓮霧樹結實纍纍，一年可長出好幾百顆蓮霧，豐收時節是我們同學最美好的回憶，
在加利福尼亞州，在市場中我不曾看到蓮霧，它是台灣最可口的高價水菓。
