You Are Like a Radish

I was five or six years old at the time, and I used to have my eye on those radishes, which I thought were little pink apples. One day, my uncle handed me one of the apples that I was very curious about and told me that it was very useful and that if I ate it, I would be "like a radish", and he managed to attract my attention. So, with my eyes shining, I took a big bite out of those little pink apples. After chewing a little bit, my face started to feel sour and I finally swallowed that bite, albeit with difficulty. Of course, my uncle clapped his hands and said, well done, if you eat this every day, you will be "like a radish". Even though I loved its appearance, I couldn't help myself because I didn't like its taste at all and said angrily, "You are like a Radish." Even though I thought it was a bitter apple, I have to thank my uncle for introducing me to this beautiful food at a young age. ☺
