Monday Mind Game

Riddle me this:

A man without eyes saw plums on a tree;

He neither took plums nor left plums,

Now how can that be?

Give up?

Drag your cursor between the asterisks for the answer:

Think singular. 

The man doesn't have "eyes" - he has ONE eye. 

He saw plums (two of them), but he only took one. 

So he didn't take "plums", he left one plum.
