The Boy Who Ate Orange Seeds
by Elias, age 9, Uganda
Once upon a time, there lived a boy. He loved eating orange seeds whenever he ate oranges. Every day, he ate one million seeds, and his mother told him that he would one day have an orange tree in his stomach. But the boy didn’t believe it.
So he kept eating them.
One day, he opened his mouth and an orange fell out of his mouth! Could it be that a tree had grown in his stomach after all? He became so scared. He didn’t want his mother to see and to take him to the doctor. He didn’t like going to the doctor.
Whenever he felt an orange come into his mouth, he made sure his mother didn’t see. He gulped it down.
The boy discovered there were many good things about having an orange tree in your stomach.
First of all, he always had food, so he would never get hungry.
Secondly, he got vitamin C all the time. So he never got sick.
Thirdly, he could sell the oranges he didn’t eat in the market and soon he became very rich. After he washed them, of course!
One day, with all his money, he went and bought a limousine. His mother saw the limousine when it came home and became confused.
“Eh! Why am I seeing this!? Am I hallucinating?” said the mother.
Then she went inside and went to bed, thinking she was sick.
The boy felt bad for scaring his mother. So the boy went to his mother and told her about the orange tree in his stomach. Then he begged his mother, “Please! Don’t take me to the doctor!”
The mother replied, “You don’t need to go to the doctor. But this explains why you have been eating so little food since you ate those orange seeds. I won’t take you to the doctor so long as you eat your chicken.”
“Yay!” said the boy. And he always ate his chicken.
