Inubiwa jam

My family calls these

‘fruits that goats love’

and the tree ‘a goats’ tree’

and the leaves ‘the leaves that goats love’

But these fruits

sometimes taste like figs

and some people say they are edible

and others say

there are edible and inedible kinds

I have tried to eat them many times

and found it ok only one time

This summer, I unintentionally ate it and …what?

It’s really yummy!

I have eaten many of these fruits from

many different trees,

but it was the best one!

So I went home and came back next day to pick them

to let my family eat some raw

and with the rest I cooked jam

I made it half in doubt,

but they liked it much

It makes me happy to know

the fruits from trees that grow naturally by themselves are delicious!
