A Surprise Gift On Teacher's Day

Neither boquet of roses Nor a pack of chocolates Nor a hand letter Nor a congratulatory message Nor a hug or a shake hand Nor a hi or hello greeting But a bouquet of guava leaves That a former student gives To her teacher on Teacher's Day.

Hello Hugo, a student gives the teacher Guava leaves! is that a plant? I drink guava juice. I like the drink. How does the guava fruit grow? To me from the photo on the bottle it looks something like a watermelon only smaller. Much love, Darlene/

Hello Hugo, I like the taste of Gava Juice. I am having it tonight. It was a very nice jester of the student to do this nice thing for the teacher. I think it will be a keepsake for the teacher. Much love here. /Darlene/

Guava is fruit tree just bigger than a shrub. It's fruit is kinda sweet and sour. The scenario makes the teacher cried because her former student did not forget her to greet her on Teacher's Day. The former student instead giving her gift that ordinary, he choose the extraordinary gift which is unorthodox I would say, instead wrap flower, its wrap leaves in paper like a bouquet of guava leaves. Someone blog the event and the video going viral here in the Philippines. Guava juice is delicious, I have taste that once. Anyway, thank you, Darlene for your nice comment. I really appreciate it. Love lots her./Hugo.
