I glanced out the window, watching the city shrink below us. The excitement of visiting Paris with Toby bubbled over, knowing we were about to see the biggest banana in the world. Toby flipped through a book about exotic animals, a grin on his face. "I can't believe we're finally going," I said, feeling the plane soar through the clouds.

The air was fresh with a hint of freshly baked bread as Toby and I navigated our way through the streets. Paris was alive with color and sound, a symphony of honking cars and laughter. We finally reached the exhibition that housed the grand banana, our hearts racing with excitement. "Look at it, it's massive!" Toby exclaimed, pointing at the yellow spectacle towering over us.

I watched in horror as the giant banana began to tilt, its descent slow yet inevitable. "Watch out!" Toby shouted, pulling me back just in time. The banana crashed to the ground, and my phone, which had slipped from my hand, was caught beneath its weight. The screen shattered, and I felt a pang of loss amid the chaos.

Despite the mishap, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Toby joined in, his laughter contagious. "Well, at least we have a story to tell," Toby chuckled, offering me his phone to call home. I nodded, grateful for his friendship and the unexpected adventure we'd shared.

I decided to let go of the frustration about my broken phone, choosing instead to immerse myself in the beauty around us. Toby and I wandered through the illuminated streets, stopping for crepes and sharing stories. Paris had given us more than we expected, and I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.
