"Don't Squeeze my Oranges" said the fruit stall owner. (listen to the video)






Another intriguing short  story 

"Don't Squeeze my Oranges" said the fruit stall owner. (listen to the video)

Happened to overhear a conversation between a fruit stall owner and an aunty who tends to prefer squeezing every oranges whilst selecting the best ones.

Did she buys any of the oranges that she has squeezed? 

No, as she was annoyed by the fruit stall owner's comment that she might damages those oranges if she keeps squeezing them during selection (in his Cantonese dialect).

I am not dirty minded just a wee bit naughty to share this in Cantonese dialect.

Figuratively speaking, the stall owner is correct using his own Cantonese dialect telling the aunty not to squeeze those oranges. But, if you do understand and repeat it in Hokkien...then indirectly interpreted in your own assumption might be a totally different narrative! Therefore if this is a Hokkien aunty, she might explicate amatory action by the stall owner as an offensive gesture insinuating her not to squeeze his "thing".... a dirty old man!

Someone says I am good in storytelling, I would rather proclaim that I am an amazing Quality Storyteller instead!
