World Crown. In the farmlands of East District 13. Nini, wearing a cotton mask, toiled among the rows of rye grass.
Just as Nini straightened up and wiped the sweat from her face with a towel, she saw her good friend Shanshan standing right in front of her.
She threw the little spade in her hands and rushed over excitedly, embracing her. "Shanshan!! How did you come down here!! I am so happy! I was just thinking about you yesterday!!"
"I missed you too, so I came down, and I brought you a gift, bananas."
Only then did Nini notice the bunch of things lying next to Shanshan, a green stalk taller than herself, laden with a cluster of yellow and green elongated strips.
"What is this?" she asked, crouching down curiously and pinching it with her hand.
"Bananas."
"Shanshan, bananas should be black and soft, these are not bananas, you've been tricked."
"What is 'tricked'?"
"Tricked means telling lies. Like if I say I'm a boy, but I'm not a boy, then I would have tricked you."
