The picture shown is called “Santol” in our local language and “Cotton fruit” in English. Its scientific name is Sandoricum koetjade. I want to share the story behind Santol.
After work, I told my husband I needed to buy a new pen. I choose what type of pen that I use in my work. I’m the type of person who finds ways that can make me inspire in my job and the pen is one factor of it. On the first day of my work, I lost the pen that I usually use, and I know that the pen that I typically use is not commonly sold in our town.
We need to travel first to the neighboring town, Bogo City. We arrived at Bogo City late afternoon. I went to Gaisano-Mall Bogo to buy the pen that I like most. Unfortunately, the desired brand was unavailable, so I chose another temporary pen.
When I returned, I opened the back of the car and was shocked to see the four pieces of Santol inside one pack.
I asked my husband why he bought the fruit when we had no interest in eating it. It’s not good for me or my husband due to its sour taste. My husband told me that he was scammed. I wonder why?
The seller convinced him to buy the remaining product because the seller was so hungry that he would not take his dinner if he did not finish selling his product. My husband as a kind sometimes bought the product. After paying, the seller went to another area only to find out that he had another product to sell. My husband concluded that he was scammed.
Well, sometimes a seller tells white lies to sell a product. but, I think, using that, it loses its credibility especially when the customer finds it.
Thank you for reaching this far. If you want to inspire, learn, and witness beautiful scenery, experiences, and places, do not forget to follow, upvote, and reblog my post to support and motivate me to write more. Thank you.
