In New Zealand, people love a fruit called feijoa. It comes from South America, but New Zealanders think of it as their special fruit. Unlike the kiwi fruit, feijoas are not sold much in other countries because they don't last long. Every year, when feijoas are ready to eat, people in New Zealand get very excited. They feel a strong connection to this fruit.

Feijoas are shared a lot in New Zealand. When they fall from trees, people pick them up and give them to friends, neighbors, and even strangers. Many people never have to buy feijoas because they get them for free. This sharing makes people feel close and happy. Some people, like a lady named Diana, give away lots of feijoas from their gardens to others, showing kindness and community spirit.
