Apples
By reflexes April 15, 2008
What’s with an apple? Why do they always use it in stories? This is but one of the questions my kids and I were discussing while watching the movie “Snow White, The Fairest of Them All” together.
In every Snow White story, everyone knows that a greedy queen used an apple to poison the beautiful Snow White. And in the story of Adam and Eve, most story tellers would tell that the fruit that Adam and Eve ate in the garden of Eden was an apple (though the Bible didn’t say any particular fruit).
Is an apple really that good that somehow some people could be tempted to get a bite? Here are some plain and simple facts that my kids and I agreed upon.
- Apples are common, probably because they grow all year.
- It comes in different colours, mostly red and green.
- The fruit looks nice, it is round/heart in shape and is shiny.
- The skin is smooth.
- The flesh is firm but juicy.
- Smells beautifully sweet.
- Tastes sweet when ripe.
- It can be eaten as is (apple on stick, salad), cooked (apple pie) and good to drink (juice).
- And It contains vitamins and minerals.
Yummy! It sounds deliciously healthy to me. No wonder my daughters loves it.
