The older apple thought
for a moment, and then replied, “I know you’re concerned about
falling from the tree, but some good things have come from the ground.”
“That’s not the life for me,” retorted the little
apple, “I plan on being hand picked by a special family, taken
to their home and placed into a beautiful fruit bowl. With my shiny
red skin, I shall be the most delicious looking piece of fruit in
the entire bowl!”
The older apple gently replied, “There is much more to being
an apple than just having shiny red skin.” |
