Mango

On the outside you are a flower but, not yet opened

You feel like a leaf, floating in the summer air

When I peel you, you sound like a waterfall, pounding on the jagged rocks

When I slice you, you sound like a dolphin cutting though water

Inside you look like a golden ray of sun

You feel like fresh rain, falling on a garden

You taste like pure sugar, soft and sweet

Tell me, why are you tough on the outside, yet so soft on the inside?
