A man sits in the center of a marketplace crying his eyes out, a platter of peppers spilled out on the ground before him. Steadily and methodically, he reaches for pepper after pepper, popping them into his mouth and chewing deliberately, at the same time wailing uncontrollably. “What’s wrong?” people wonder, gathering around the extraordinary sight. “What’s the matter with you?” Tears stream down his face as he sputters an answer. “I’m looking for a sweet one,” he gasps.
