A Cuban social media user shared a humorous video that was initially meant to demonstrate the process of building a private pool but ended up illustrating how to get wealthy by cultivating tomatoes. Known on Instagram as El Jota, the young man announced his intention to construct a pool in his backyard, starting to dig the soil gradually to carve out the necessary space.
With excitement, he described the planned location for the pool and jacuzzi, even outlining his vision for a pavilion equipped with hammocks, tables, and disco lights. "It's going to be quite the scene," he expressed enthusiastically.
However, his plans took an unexpected turn when he went to prepare lunch and noticed the steep price of tomatoes. "After seeing the cost of cement, I decided it was wiser to use this land to grow tomatoes. In three months, when I harvest them, I'll be able to buy a ticket to Brazil, have a child there, and sell him to Real Madrid for 30 or 40 million euros," he joked.
"The tomato plan is perfect; just look at how my Brazilian son is thriving," he commented with admiration, glancing at his crops. The video has garnered over 9,100 likes in just two days.
El Jota frequently posts comedic videos on his social media, offering a unique take on the situation in the country. His content provides a humorous lens through which to view the challenges faced by many Cubans today.
