Halve the melon, remove its seeds and cut its flesh into little balls. Make the same thing with the water melon, removing
all the seeds. If you don't waste too much flesh, cut the flesh of these fruits only into little pieces.
Put all the fruit pieces in a bowl, add the orange and lemon juice and the quantity of sugar you prefer. Sprinkle with
cinnamon and stir accurately. Chill in the refrigerator until you have to serve it.
