Why Lemons Are Yellow and Sour

A story by the Idealist. Helping her post:

Plant-ate D. The planet of all fruits. The first occupants of Plant-ate D were the Lemons. In those ages, the Lemons, were as black as the blackberries we see now. A pink dinosaur lay guard in this ancient land of fruits, only to awake to solve any happening disputes.

The Lemons took much land. However, even though they were the first occupants of Plant-ate D, their infrastructure and technology could not keep pace with the rest of the world. They were still suffering diseases , such as insect infestation, that contributed to much of their rising death rates.

One fine day, the Land of White Fruits decided to conquer their counterparts-- the Lemons. The Land of White Fruits were in comparison, much more advanced, and their healthcare system was being reviewed. They wanted test subjects for their next bout of pesticides, and wanted live subjects to test on.

The Lemons were a great lab rats as they were dumb, and had no idea that they were being experimented on. Not only were they experimented on by, they were slaves of the White Fruits.

But the time had come, for the Lemons to know that they, the first occupants of Plant-ate D, had been mistreated and fooled by the White Fruits. Martin Lemon King was the first Lemon brave enough to send a warning to the rest occupying the Land of Lemons, to not come to the Land of Fruits.

The White Fruits, afraid of a rebellion, and fearing the sheer numbers of the Lemons, decided to take the first move before any undesirable outcomes.

The Land of White Fruits loaded their banana-bombers (They had procured these suicide bombers from their conquered Land of Bananas recently), and fired millions and trillions of them into the Land of Lemons.

The suicide bombers (who are the bombs themselves)  flew in mid-air, their skin peeling off as they reached higher and higher. Soon, they all started falling towards the Land of Lemons, like a parade of yellow fireworks. *SPLAT*

The Lemons were hit by the bananas, and subsequently, had turned from black to yellow, having had some sort of skin radiation from the high-speed falling bananas. In their desperation for treating this onset of new yellow skin, many doused themselves with acid, which cause many tiny bumps in their skin, and did not solve the yellow skin problem.

Soon, the Lemons realized that both they, the once blackberry-colored fruits, and the Bananas, had the fate of being controlled by the evil White Fruits. They declared war on the White Fruits.

The White Fruits had the upper hand of superior military knowledge and troops, and were confident of their victory when facing such low level counterparts. As reported by the White Fruits news channel, colonel Wruits speaks,'Those banana skins and blacks stand no chance against us. We can even win this with our hands down." Morale of the land of White Fruits was running high.

However, before they could start, the mysterious guardian of the land, the Pink Dinosaur, awoke with a loud bellowing grunt. She was furious at the disturbance of the peace. Galloping recklessly through the Lands, she exterminated most of the white fruits, leaving few in existance today. She dashed towards the Land of  Lemons, leaving the Bananas heaving a sigh of relief at their apparent luck. However, with the Lemons hiding in the thick leafy forest of Amazon, the Dinosaur could not protrude their defense, as the Dinosaur had a weakness against plants. Little did the Lemons realize that their ancestors had a reason in naming this planet "Plant-ate D". Yes, with the Dinosaur entangled in a mess of plant roots, the plants excreted juices which digested the Dinosaur whole, and left a last regenerative cell behind, blown by the wind to the cave the Dinosaur had been residing.

The Pink Dinosaur regenerated the next day and continued in her slumber, waiting for the time the land of Plant-ate D would require her assistance yet again.

The minority of White Fruits left did not dare to offend any of the other occupants of Plant-ate D any longer, and always stayed within their boundaries. As such, most of them were became quite rigid, forming shells or outer coverings of some sort, resulting in evolution to the rambutans and lychees.

The Lemons,on the other hand, still have tiny bumps on them; their yellow skin reminding them of the lesson and cost of their lack of knowledge and defence. They would never be ridiculed by the White Fruits again. Besides, they have a secret weapon on their side. Two actually. The Amazon Forest... and the acid which their bodies are accustomed to secreting, as they could never solve the problem of pouring too much acid on themselves.

The story of the Lemons, Bananas and the White Fruits have long been forgotten in the changing times. It is a pity that humans have acted out their versions of this same story. However, no Principle the Pink Dino is there to neutralize the effect of the Prejudice and Discrimination of the Bananas and Lemons. The Prejudice runs on wild. Many Lemons are still concerned about their yellow skin, and sour about unequal treatment. When will the Pink Dino of the human world emerge to maintain true peace?
