Tuber

The "Tuber" genus includes various species of hypogeous fungi. The hypogeous fungi grow underground and are commonly called "truffles". The real Tubers, the white ones, the good ones, usually are just for a few people. The larger the Tuber is, the more you spend, the more you spend, the more you make an impression, and the more you make an impression, the more the regard and the self-esteem that you would like to have in the micro-system you live in grow. The Tuber is wrinkled and egg-shaped; the Tuber, if well brushed, can be sepia and shiny; the Tuber, many say, is one of the most excellent delicacies in the world. The Tuber, however, is also small foul plays, repeated greediness, neighbours tripping one another, strychnine poisonings, as well as the protagonist of luxury meals in London restaurants and of magnificent auctions in Macao dancehalls (China). The Tuber is, all in all, envy and competition among human beings.
