(fable from Zanzibar)

 

While she was drawing water, a woman saw a magnificent rose-coloured fruit in the fountain. She put her hand in to get it but the fruit always disappeared. Then she dried the basin, but when there was no more water, the fruit as well was no more there. Saddened she raised her eyes to the sky and saw the fruit that was hanging from a branch. Don’t look downwards for something that is above.
