107. Twisted date tree

The author reminisces about a time when they lived in a rural village and would gather with friends to eat persimmons from a tree outside the home of an elderly man named Zhang. One day, when Zhang was not home, they attempted to gather persimmons from the tree, but found it difficult as they were growing too high. After failed attempts, the author had the idea to tie a sickle to a bamboo pole to create a makeshift harvesting tool. They successfully gathered a large amount of persimmons but were caught by Zhang upon his return. Although the author was left stuck in a tree, no harm was done, but the incident was reported to the author's parents and left a lasting impression.
