The best apple

A young girl was holding two apples in her hands. Her mother comes in the kitchen and asks her to give her one of the apples, while she could have the other one. The girl however did something peculiar which made her mother very disappointed. She bit one of the apples, and then bit the other one too. Her mother thought this was a selfish gesture from her daughter who was always obedient and loving. She asked why did she do such a thing. The girl tasted both apples and enjoyed their flavor, and then declared ‘Mom, this is your apple – it is sweeter and crispier than the other one.’ And her mother ate the better apple while the girl ate the inferior one. Then her mother gave her a huge hug saying to her ‘you’re so special – I love!’ So let us not judge on outside appearances only. The true value of a person is what lies in their heart. The girl wanted to give her mother the very best! Let us also give one another the very best we can offer.
