TV NEWS music plays and introduction animations fly across the screen. A reporter is standing on the street. Behind her is a loud group of protesters. They are holding signs and chanting. The reporter is yelling to be heard over the noise.

Reporter: I’m here in front of the Ace’s Chicken Company factory. As you can see behind me, 
protesters have gathered to take down the chicken giant. They are chanting Down with Ace and other slogans. They have set up a sound system and are playing loud hip-hop music—which, as insider sources have speculated, is Ace’s most hated genre of music. Let’s now speak to the leader of this movement, Sally. Why are you all out here today?

Sally: We’re not going to stand for the propaganda that Ace has been spreading. He’s published lies about me and is trying to manipulate the public perception of his slaughterhouse. The truth must be known. Ace’s chicken is killing people!

Reporter: And what do you have to say to the opposition? As you know, there is a vocal group of employees who have publicly commented that Ace is a kind leader who only wants what’s best for public health.

Sally: They have been paid off! My sources have told me that Ace personally approached every one of them and offered huge amounts of money, and if they declined, he said he would have their careers destroyed. Ace is only interested in how people perceive him. He isn’t a genuine
manufacturer. He’s a powerful baby!

Reporter: You heard it here, folks. Sally, an ex-employee, claims that Ace is spreading propaganda and paying employees to pretend. Sally, what is it that your group wants?

Sally: We want to see that evil dictator fall!

Reporter: Strong words. Back to you in the newsroom.

TÜRKİYEDEKİ ŞİFALI BİTKİLER 

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.
