[Story] Once upon a time in a small village, there was a peculiar farmer named Bob. He grew all kinds of fruits and vegetables, except for the watermelon. Bob believed that watermelons were cursed, and he was afraid of them. His garden was filled with apple, banana, bean, cabbage, carrot, grape, lemon, onion, pear, potato, strawberry, and tomato plants. One day, a giant onion appeared in his garden, and it was as big as a small house. The villagers were amazed, and they all came to see it. Bob was proud of his onion, but he was also worried because he thought it might attract the watermelon curse. Despite his fears, the onion brought prosperity to the village, and Bobs garden became famous.
