The man at the grocery store in the alley held large beans called Petai in his hand and looked at them

In a dimly lit alleyway in the Glodok district in Jakarta, there was also a grocery store, and a man was sitting stolidly in front of it. It was the same kind of beans I had seen in the alley north of Fatahillah Square. The man grabbed a branch-like part of the pod and looked at the petai as if to test its quality.

Looking at the pea-like puteh, one wonders if the beans in the English fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" were this large. The peas that grow on a trunk thick enough for Jack to climb must have been about this size.

Perhaps the grocer pondered whether he should sell the beans that would grow on the giant tree for money, or plant them in his own house and climb to the giant's castle above the clouds himself. If he reached the giant's castle, he might be able to get a bag of gold and silver coins.
