A Real Banana

I scrambled all the way off the sofa and made my way across the cool kitchen tiles to reach the high counter. Gripping the wooden stool rung by rung, I hauled myself onto the polished countertop and headed straight for the wire basket. Right there, resting among red apples, was a huge, bright yellow banana! It was ten times bigger than my little highlighter pen from the bookshelf. I threw my arms around the curved peel, hugging it tight while trying to lift it. It barely budged, but smelling its sweet, tropical scent up close made me bounce on my toes with pure joy!
