How Do You Like Them Bananas
Aさん:「あっ!バナナ。食べていい?」
Zさん:"どうぞ。"
Aさん:「ん。まだ熟していない。」
Zさん:"What? How dare you! Those bananas bust their butts studying every afternoon after school!"
Aさん:「Yeah... that's true... and I would like to see them get into a good college. 」
Z-san explains: "熟 or juku means 'ripe'. 塾, also pronounced juku, means 'Cram School' for Japanese students."
