Green Gold
Good Morning!
Money grows on trees in the Tamilian town of Coimbatore, in India. Green gold farming or coconut farming is both a lucrative and pleasurable pastime for the locals in this southern belt. Those who have been discouraged from strolling in the sun- dappled groves may have gone away with a wrong impression of surly residents. It has come out that the worry about the shortage of agile coconut pluckers has been the reason for their inhospitality. Coconuts, growing on unreachable 30 to 40 feet high trees have occasionally rained down only to worsen matters. Stories of the odd nut meeting an unsuspecting head below was a common litany in the list of woes. While discussions were on about getting trained monkeys from Indonesia there was a breakthrough with the introduction of the new coconut tree climber. Job opportunities have been thrown open to women and men of all levels of fitness as the coconut tree climber promises to do more than its share of hard work. Last heard, amateurs have been finishing the whole operation in record time. Passers- by are thinking of taking a detour , as there is a limit to the coconut water a person can have!
