Because the story, I mean, it's the one that I knew, which I find utterly charming.

Somewhere about halfway between Cairo and Luxor, there is this unnamed woman filling her basket with stuff.

hard baked.

She's going to take them home.

She's going to crush them up and use them as fertilizer.

How many she had pulverized and grown into leeks and cucumbers and melons will never be known.

I don't know.
