The Fruit Stand Guy


There is always a fruit stand guy in some country that I have a small obsession with and I found mine in Morocco.  He is a big overweight, wears a pink and yellow towel wrapped around his head, worn jeans with a “New York Knick’s emblem”, his jeans are rolled up past his striped socks, and he wears a grumpy look on his face. 

Usually, I notice he does not receive a lot of business and this is due to his jacked up prices.  He smiles in your face, but likes to charge a bit more in comparison to his fellow fruit vendors.  I still give him business just because I think he is cute and while he used to be grumpy, he warmed up to me and gives me a nice smile and a symbol of thanks to his heart. 

This man is always the first person I see in the mornings and one of the last at night. He works hard carrying around his cart all day and I appreciate that, especially when it’s a Moroccan haaaaaaaa.
