Today i am free

come come come
sit sit sit
lemme tell u a story
there's a fruit which is weird
very weird
Nobody knows what it's name

how come how come

story goes like this~
A foreigner
asked a hokkien fruit stall owner
"Do you hav honey dew?"
Hokkien did not understand what the foreigner said
"Har? what ah? what is the fruit u said?"
the foreign saw a honeydew in the hokkien's hand
he nodded and said
"YES YES YES I want that HA MIK KUA in your hand!"
that's how hokkien called a honeydew as a ha mik kua
however~
hokkien never know the real name of the fruit

story is not end there
once the foreigner left
a hakka came
hokkien was so proud and asked
"boss, u wan to buy ha mik kua or not?"
hakka thought the hokkien asked him what he wanted to buy
so he asked hokkien
"what is the fruit that u r holding?"
hokkien answered
"MA KAI KUA? OHHHHH HAKKA CALL THIS FRUIT MA KAI KUA"
Hakka murmured in his heart
"so pity, he dun even know what the fruit he is selling!"

oh ho ho ~
WHAT a pity
