After a short while, Lin Shen came back holding a melon and handed it to the vendor, asking him to cut it up into pieces.
When Lin Shen sat back down, Anu asked, "Big Brother Anos, where did you just go? What are you holding in your arms?"
Lin Shen replied, "Oh, it's the local specialty here, cantaloupe. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, so the melons are packed with sugar. They make a great dessert after a meal. It's my fault, really—I completely forgot about this when we first arrived, and only remembered after I sat down. If Ling'er can't eat the roasted meat, she can have roasted naan and this instead."
