ZenTalks- Tagalog Time 

A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天是9月29号，农历八月十五号中秋节。今年中秋节和国庆节离得很近，所以今天开始全国放8天假。因为出行的人很多，塞车很严重。即使要花十几个小时甚至更长的时间才能回到家，还是有千千万万的人选择回家过中秋节。为什么中秋节对中国人来说这么重要呢？
中秋节对于中国人来说，最大的意义就是团圆。从唐朝开始，人们就把天上的月圆和人间的团圆联系在一起了。离家在外的人举头望月，思念的是故乡和亲友。中国人重视亲情，阖家团圆便是最好的期盼。每逢中秋来临，中国960万平方公里的大地上，便有无数人奔走起来。他们有个共同的目标，回家。
回家路千千万万，有的回家路横穿中国，从上海到喀什，跨越三个时区，行程一万里。有的回家路沿着城市和乡村，用草原河流呼唤漂泊的游子。有的回家路随大海延伸，中国3.2万公里的海岸线，是对出海人平安回家的等待。有的回家路则是从四面八方，天南海北聚在一起，把他乡变成故乡。
虽然今天人们可以隔着屏幕相连，但与家人的相见，永远是心灵深处的渴望。同一屋檐下共赏明月，幸福平淡也绵长。
月亮，为什么大家都喜欢你？这个中秋，你回家了吗？中秋节快乐。让我们回家追月吧。
