From our corpus

باغ مادربزرگ خیلی زیبا بود پر از خوشه های ذرت، ارزن و سیب زمینی شیرین ولی بهتر از همه موزها بودند. اگرچه مادربزرگ نوه های زیادی داشت من مخفیانه متوجه شدم که من نوه ی مورد علاقه ی مادربزرگ هستم. او اغلب مرا به خانه اش دعوت می کرد. او همچنین رازهای مختصری برای من می گفت. ولی یک رازی بود که مادربزرگ ان را با من در میان نگذاشته بود: اینکه او موزهای رسیده را کجا می گذاشت؟

Grandma's garden was wonderful, full of sorghum, millet, and cassava. But best of all were the bananas. Although Grandma had many grandchildren, I secretly knew that I was her favourite. She invited me often to her house. She also told me little secrets. But there was one secret she did not share with me: where she ripened bananas.
