"The Watermelon Man"


Date of Creation: 1987

A tradition in the heat of the summer is to pick up a watermelon from a roadside vendor.

Melon is the common name for any one of numerous varieties of sweet fruits of the gourd family, that grow on two species of trailing vines. One vine bears muskmelons, winter melons, and the European cantaloupe. The other bears the watermelons.

Watermelons originated in tropical Africa, and Sanskrit and early Egyptian records indicate that they have been cultivated for more than 4000 years.
