Ayumi loves fruits.
Théo too loves fruits.
Every Sunday, he fills his basket with his sweetest fruits and offers them to Ayumi.
Sunday is a sweet day.
Théo even calls this day his « p’tit plaisir de la vie »...
Ayumi looks like her fruits : she is banana when she smiles, pear when she's having fun, lemon when she is scared, kiwi when she is sad.
The trouble is, as Sundays go by Ayumi looks more and more like a kiwi. Seeing this, Théo jumps on airplanes and goes around the world to find the best seeds in each country. Then he comes back with a bag full of seeds to saw.
One day, seeds grow into trees bearing fruits. Théo has never seen prettier fruits in his life. He quickly picks them and puts them in a big salad bowl. He prepares a fruits salade and brings it to his friend. Ayumi tastes it, smiles and tastes again ...
