ثم وصلنا إلى قطعة أرض صغيرة تحت المسرح مزروعة بالفلفل والفقوس والبندورة. لم نكن بحاجة إلى الفلفل، فجروحنا من أشواك التوت البري تحرقنا بأشد من حرقة الفلفل. ولم يكن هناك فقوس. كانوا قد قطفوه. لم يكن إلا البندورة. قطفت زر بندورة، وصعدت إلى منطقة المسرح.
لم أحصل من هذه الرحلة إلا على زر بندورة أخضر غير ناضج.

Mind you, it might also mean "tomato powder" for someone else, I don't know!
