Insight

I went to an orchard to pick apples. They were beautiful apples, and I had big plans for them. Later I went to the refrigerator and found that every apple had a tiny bite taken out of it. I realized (from the small bites) that my son was responsible. When he came home I asked him why. He said, “Because I needed to find out which was the best one.”
