I came back to my desk from a meeting, to find a persimmon quietly waiting atop my closed computer. I looked around, but no one was looking at me. I shrugged and smiled at the little gift and decided to figure it out later. It was the holidays - the eat too much, sentimental, give everyone gifts time. I loved persimmons and was a sucker for unusual fruits. I saved it till ripe and ate it without worry two days later at my desk. I promptly forgot about it, until the following Wednesday.
