The sweet corn is ripe; juicy and succulent. Vendors have sprung up everywhere, selling their wares by the dozen. In the larger cities the carts are manned by salespeople, but in smalltown mid-America, the corn stands alone. A slotted box is placed in the midst of the produce, bearing a sign with instructions. Shoppers bag their own choices and dutifully place the appropriate amount of money in the slot. Trust like that is almost unheard of these days. It's refreshing to know that honesty still exists someplace!
