Tasting a Persimmon

Our friends in Japan did not vote for persimmon as their favorite fruit in school lunches. Their teacher, Mr. Isamu Shimazaki, wonders why this is so. We do, too. We had never eaten a persimmon so our teacher brought a persimmon to school for us to taste but only if we wanted to taste a little piece. All of the students were willing to try a little taste. Most of the students in our classes like the taste of persimmon. It was very soft and was not bitter at all!

Dear friends in Japan,

I tased a persimmon today. It tasted so good that I wanted some more and some more. It looked like an orange and a tomato. It smelled liked a peach. It tasted like a peach.

Dear friends in Japan,

I ate a little piece of persimmon today. It looks like a tomato. It smelled like pork. It tasted like cold french fries. I did not like it.
