6.The Green Banana(365)

Ninth grade rewrite

The Green Banana

【1】In the heart of Brazil, Donald Bechelder found himself in a tricky situation. His old jeep was struggling up a steep mountain road when suddenly, the radiator started leaking. He was miles away from the nearest mechanic, and the engine was getting too hot to handle.

【2】He stopped at the next village, which was just a small store and a few scattered houses. The villagers gathered around, and a man said, "That's easy to fix." He sent a boy to get some green bananas. The traveler was puzzled but kept quiet, not wanting to seem ignorant. Instead, he admired the beautiful landscape around them.

【3】The man pointed to a tall rock and said, "That rock marks the center of the world." The traveler was surprised but nodded politely. The man seemed serious, and everyone around him agreed.

【4】The boy returned with green bananas, and the man cut one in half, pressing it against the hot radiator. To the traveler's amazement, the banana acted like glue, stopping the leaks instantly! The villagers laughed at his surprised face and helped him refill the radiator, giving him extra bananas for the road.

【5】Later, the traveler reached his destination and met a mechanic who asked if he knew about the green banana and the rock marking the center of the world. The mechanic shared that his grandfather was from that village, and everyone there believed in the special rock.

【6】The traveler realized that the green banana was not just a fruit but a clever solution he had never considered. He learned that every place has its own special meaning, and every person's center of the world is unique. He understood that there are many centers in the world, and each one is special.

【7】The traveler's adventure taught him that sometimes, we need to step out of our own world to discover the unexpected treasures and wisdom of other places. Just like the green banana, waiting patiently for us to find it, there are many wonders in the world waiting to be discovered.

绿香蕉

【1】在巴西的中心地带，唐纳德·贝赫尔德发现自己陷入了一个棘手的境地。他的旧吉普车在陡峭的山路上奋力前行，突然，散热器开始漏水。他离最近的机修工有好几英里远，而且发动机越来越热，无法操纵。

【2】他在下一个村庄停了下来，那里只有一个小商店和几座零散的房子。村民们围了过来，一个人说:“这很好修。”他派一个男孩去拿一些绿香蕉。旅行者很困惑，但保持沉默，不想显得无知。相反，他欣赏周围美丽的风景。

【3】那人指着一块高大的岩石说:“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。”旅行者很惊讶，但还是礼貌地点了点头。这个人看起来很严肃，周围的人都同意他的看法。

【4】男孩拿着绿香蕉回来了，男人把香蕉切成两半，把它压在热暖气片上。令旅行者惊讶的是，香蕉就像胶水一样，立即堵住了漏水的地方!村民们嘲笑他惊讶的表情，帮他把水箱加满，给他额外的香蕉在路上吃。

【5】后来，旅行者到达了目的地，遇到了一个机械师，机械师问他是否知道绿色香蕉和标记世界中心的岩石。机械师说他的祖父就是那个村子的人，村里的人都相信那块特殊的石头。

【6】旅行者意识到青香蕉不仅仅是一种水果，而是一种他从未考虑过的聪明的解决方案。他了解到，每个地方都有其特殊的意义，每个人的世界中心都是独一无二的。他明白世界上有许多中心，每一个都是特别的。

【7】这位旅行者的历险告诉他，有时候，我们需要走出自己的世界，去发现其他地方意想不到的宝藏和智慧。就像那绿色的香蕉，耐心地等待着我们去发现一样，世界上还有许多奇迹等待着我们去发现。
