It was sometime in the morning when Hard Truths made his way to the nearest grocery in Phony City. This grocery just so happened to have an open market stand out front that supplied a colorful array of fresh fruits and vegetables, their appealing aromas and appetizing appearances beckoning passing phonies near.Truths had come there for one reason and one reason alone: to find fresh ingredients worthy of interesting and delicate teas pleasing the to taste palate of Jasmine Tea. The only problem was that he knew almost nothing about which fruits and vegetables would be favorable for tea ingredients. He preferred plain black coffee, after all.
Though he was willing to work for the produce he planned to procure, he needed the food in advance. He already had a set date scheduled for the picnic he had in mind and thus he needed to know exactly what to get, how much it would cost, and how much he would have to help out at the grocer's to repay that cost through time and labor. This was where the unicorn colt was at a loss.
Staring at the suddenly intimidating mounds of bright produce, Hard Truths fell back on his hindquarters, overwhelmed by the choices.
