①You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package(包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.
