BANANA FRITTER BLUES

One day Pak Su had a craving for fried banana, fritters. He would have made some himself but he had no bananas, no butter, no flour and no sugar. His stomach was empty, his kitchen was empty, and more importantly his pockets were empty. He tried to distract himself by doing some reading but was tormented by images of a huge plate of deep fried banana fritters. He was getting hungrier and it appeared that his attempts to distract himself only made his stomach growl even more. Finally, he resolved t o walk t o the local sundry shop. “Do you have any flour?” he asked the amicable sundry shop owner. “Why yes, I do Pak Su.” “How about some sugar, do you have any?” Pak Su asked. “Certainly,” replied the sundry shop owner. “Do you have any bananas and butter?” Pak Su pestered him. “Why yes Pak Su,” replied the sundry shop owner albeit with a little hesitation. “So, what is holding you back, my friend? Go ahead and make a big batch of fried banana fritters so we can enjoy them.”
