(A 4Chan "green-text", with a photograph of a grape vine bearing two luscious bunches of green grapes)

be me

live in california

extremely hot lately

out for a walk because i need exercise

taking dirt path

come across a short Mexican man selling fruit with his son

browse his fruits, they're all ripe and juicy

man and son are both just smiling at me

I realize i don't have my wallet

try to explain that i have no money and start to turn to leave

hear them talking in rapid-fire Spanish

then the man hollers "Senor! quieres uva?"

don't know what "uva" is but i say yes

he hands me a bunch of green grapes like picrel

i try again to say i have no money

then the son says "he know, he say you look hungry" in broken english

thank them over and over

eat the grapes on my walk

literally the best grapes i've ever eaten

if i ever see them again i'm going to pay them 5x the cost of those grapes. thank you senor uva
