Banani and his family are walking around the shopping centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His eldest daughter spots an ice cream stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eldest Daughter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Look! A Japanese ice cream stand! They have the famous \u201cmochi\u201d ice cream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And what\u2019s that supposed to be? Looks like the stuff they sell at the local caf\u00e9 to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Youngest Daughter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you buy us some, Dad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All right… How much can it possibly cost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the time Banani sees the price, it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven pounds each? Have they gone mad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The twins start crying at the top of their lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wife<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Buy them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani has no choice but to buy ice cream for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Including a few that have fallen on the floor, the bill comes to a grand total of seventy pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But we still had to do the grocery shopping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wife<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hand over the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani hands over his card, but he only has sixty-eight pounds in his account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What now? Are they going to arrest us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wife<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait, I\u2019ll call a friend…<\/p>\n\n\n\n After paying, Banani stares at his phone as his banking app shows his account balance has dropped to zero. He scratches his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just then, by pure coincidence, Igor walks past and gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Igor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Next time you see an artisan ice cream stand, I suggest you run away to Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Banani and his family are walking around the shopping centre.
