It was an American conversation to one Iraqi: "Explain yourself for this!" the figs shouted. "How can you be so yellow, so round . . . don't you know, if you are not figgish you are not good!" " I am who I am," the pear said with confidence. "You may be two but I am one of many pears and will always be." "But don' t you know you have always been wrong?" the figs inquired. "If you were more purple, and had more seeds you would be better! Why do you not try to be more like the fig?" The pear thought for a couple of minutes, standing very still and said, "I am just waiting for the wind to shift, then we will fight to be more like pears and less like being figs." The figs stood silent in thought.
