There once was a eggplant named Oscar. While all the 

other fruits and vegetables lived inside the refrigerator, 

Oscar lived by himself in a bowl on the kitchen counter. 

He could often hear them singing fun songs like "Wheels 

on the Bus" and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" (in a 

round, no less). 

He wished he could join in with them, but there were two 

problems. First, he was stuck in this bowl in the kitchen. 

Second, he couldn't sing!

One morning, he woke up to find someone else on 

the kitchen table. It was a banana.

"Hello, Banana," said Oscar. "What's your name?"

But the banana didn't answer. It just looked at him.

Maybe he didn't hear me, thought Oscar. "HELLO 

BANANA, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"

Still, the banana did not respond.   This is irritating, 

thought Oscar. Finally someone to talk to, but he 

doesn't talk!

"Hey, Banana. Do you talk?" 

Banana shook his head. 

"Oh, why not?" Oscar asked. 

Banana grabbed a piece of paper and wrote: 

"No mouth!" 

"Hmmmm," Oscar thought. "Christmas is 

coming soon. Why not ask Santa Peach for a 

mouth?" 

The banana nodded his head and thought 

that was a good idea.

No Mouth!

The banana and Oscar decided to write a letter 

to Santa. The letter said "Dear Santa Peach, 

please bring us a mouth for Banana so he can 

talk. I want to be his best friend. -Oscar". 

Oscar did not show the banana his letter. He 

wanted to surprise him. He just smiled and put 

it in the mailbag when the banana wasn't 

looking.

On Christmas Eve night, when everyone was 

fast asleep in the kitchen, there was a noise on 

the roof of the kitchen. KERPLUNK! No one 

woke up. Who made that noise? It was Santa 

Peach! He came down the chimney and 

remembered, this was where Oscar the 

Eggplant lived. He looked at Oscar and the 

banana sound asleep, and took one gift out of 

his bag and placed it under Oscar's Christmas 

tree and quietly slipped up the chimney. The 

gift tag said "TO BANANA    -SANTA PEACH"
