One day, an old woman with a basket of fruits came and try to ask for a glass of water to the three little naughty boys playing. The boys ignored the thirsty old woman.

Then, the old woman said “I will give you this fruit for a glass of water.” One boy doesn’t mind her and said “What’s wrong with the old woman?”

Then, the old woman put out a fruit and offer it to them, “This fruit is so sweet, delicious, and will make you strong and handsome,” the old woman said.

The three little boys responded, “Is it real?” but the other boy said, “She is just kidding!” They ran away after.

After a while, one boy suddenly planned to steal the strange fruit from the old woman. When the darkness covers everything, the two little boys walk slowly and silently like thieves going to the old woman along the road.

They get the fruit slowly but surely and immediately run away and try to eat the strange fruit. The three little boys felt like in heaven after eating the fruit and went home.

In the next day, the first boy felt weird and keeps on vomiting.

The other felt indifference and he got a swollen face.

And the last little boy felt severe headache.

In the next day, they looked for the old woman to ask for forgiveness. However, the old woman vanished.
