The First Customer

There’s an old expression that says: "Go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is."

In other words: if you want to find the true sweetness in life, sometimes you have to take a risk!

In today’s story, our main character goes out on a limb to make her dream come true. And the fruit she finds is sweeter than she ever imagined! 

Our story is called “The First Customer.” Versions of this tale come from the Philippines, an island country in Southeast Asia.
