　　Before you see the durian, you know it is there. The durian is famous for its strong smell. The next thing you notice, is how strange it looks. It is a large, round, spiny fruit unlike any other. They can be quite big. Sometimes they weigh as much as several kilograms.

　　Durian is a fruit that grows from trees in Southeast Asia . The durian tree can grow to be very tall. When durians are ready to be eaten, they just fall from the trees; they do not need to be picked. Durians can be eaten fresh. Sometimes they are used to make cakes and ice cream. Mmm ... durian ice cream. Anyone for a bowl?
