Esmerelda the Unique Pear

Story time! About the unique shape of a pear I found in the packet I recently purchased. Please enjoy story below picture.

Veridian, Esmerelda and Jade Pearheart grew up in the same tree since they were seedlings. Esmerelda always had her heart set on other things. Her sisters tried to advise how a pear can only ever be a pear. She never listened, always speaking in a soft sweet tone, as she drifted off enviously watching the fruits in the banana plantation for their slender appearances. Or the playfully cute strawberries for their fit looking shoulders and slimming down to petite leg-like structure. There were even the cheeky cherries, often found in a pair or small bunch blushing up against each other. Like the grape family who would always travel by the bunch and form these amazing figures. What fun everyone else seemed to share, but not Esmerelda. She was forever going to have a large, rotund bottom with a small waist and nothing enviable in her upper section.

It was then the light-bulb moment set off and she decided to force her waist-line to be in a different spot! But how to start this achievement she pondered. She hopped down from her favourite branch down to where they youngen were, with the softer twigs. She snapped a twig and wrapped it around herself a little lower then were her waist would normally be. At first, she gasped for air, second guessing her actions, then quickly remembering the point to all of this. Soon she would be on her way to be the most attractive Pear ever to leave Peartheart Tree!

Esmerelda wanted to start showing off her new look. She jumped down to Fruit Grove Boulevard to socialise with the other fruits. Some stayed in their spots starring in horror, others pointed and gasped. But then, Dragina one of the Exotic with her ruffled coral red dress, tipped with lime green edging, which slowly bristled against the ground approached Esmerelda. In a firm, fiery voice she said, “Well I never thought I’d see the day a fruit would go beyond their capable means to be something they’re not. A pear already has an enviable shape honey, why would you try to alter that?”

Esmerelda had no response, but the twig had already left it’s mark. Although she removed the waistband, she was already indented with the mark of an altered waist-band. No longer did she have her common pear-like shape with the plump heavy end. She was something else.

Esmeralda made her way back into the Pearheart tree and thought about her day out. She decided she went on this journey with a purpose and achieved her result and despite the ill words of others, she refused to take this on board. She always knew she was different and now she felt she had reached her goal. She was happy to be the only unique looking Pear.

The End.
