For now inside is quite pleasant..but outside the sun is ripe and heating up..back home we would call this mango season..you pick Mango's off the tree..over eat your belly full....then lay under the tree and go to sleep..after several days of gorging yourself...you wake up with blisters on your mouth...you have got mango fever..you have eaten too many turn Mango's that are not quite ready to be had...but greed got the better of you..that, and you don't want to leave any for someone else...old time Jamaican people would say "Bway, You pay fi roast and boil" because you force ripe the fruit..often in our greed and selfishness we would pick green mango's that has just began to change color but not yet ripe and hide them under leaves inbred bushes for another day..normally it takes several days to ripen..but then the tree has been picked bare of fruit and our greed for more cause us to fetch the hidden mangoes..still not ripe enough to eat..but we do so anyway and catch Mango Fever.
