As soon as I opened the door, I was welcomed by the strong smell of ripening bananas. In the inner room was grandma's big magic straw basket. It was well hidden by an old blanket. I lifted it and sniffed that glorious smell.
Bumungad sa akin ang mabangong amoy ng mga nahihinog na saging sa oras na buksan ko ang pinto. Sa looban nito ay ang malaki at mahiwagang dayaming basket ni Lola. Nakatago ito sa isang lumang kumot. Iniangat ko ito at sininghot ang mabangong amoy nito.
