In a southern city, a team of scientists always ate in the grandmother's kitchen. An inn served them a dish made with bananas and spices. They noticed that when they ate it, they felt happier. So, they took a plate and wrapped it in aluminum foil to analyze it.
They stored it and headed to the laboratory. They set out to analyze it, and everything seemed normal; there was nothing strange. However, upon closer examination, they identified something different in the banana. There was a hormone that seemed to confuse the happiness endorphins, acting differently and causing the same effect.
The scientists debated whether it was a drug or a breakthrough for depression. They wondered how this amazing banana plant had developed in the grandmother's kitchen.
It seems that in the 1960s, a meteorite from space fell, and someone left radiation in that backyard. They determined that this material was of extraterrestrial origin and not from Earth. This explained the limited location of its growth and the impossibility of replicating it. They decided to call this area the "exclusion zone."
The value of this banana skyrocketed. They discovered with highly advanced machinery that underground, it was an unlimited source. To avoid damaging the crop, they dug a tunnel and discovered beings who, having changed their lives in the safety of the depths, produced this happiness banana. Moisture and darkness kept them alive. So they locked them in government facilities and analyzed them thoroughly. Finally, they discovered the component that, when morphologically modified, prevented the brain from getting used to it and causing side effects. People started consuming this plant again, and their safety was guaranteed, as the consumers were safe.
In the end, humans created a more potent medication that relieved stress, distress, and sadness in people while making them more empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. These were extraordinary changes. The comet beings took them to a better and safer place and kept the secret forever.
In the end, the grandmother's banana-based dish turned out to be a goldmine, solving unhappiness on planet Earth, and they lived happily ever after, or something like that.
