a largish apple tree > la tree --> It is an apple tree, with some appropriate
fruit hanging on its semi-bare branches. Some of its leaves have fallen
already, as is usual during the autumn. The tree has reached a stage of less
frequent growth spurts, but one day one might happen to realize it has
actually grown all the time, but so slowly and with the frequent visits it has
been unnoticed. This apple tree was planted by you in 915. You still remember
that summer and how young and foolish you were then.
pick apple --> You pick an apple. Ahh, the first apple of the year from your
very own tree. Or, not your own tree, but the tree you planted with your own
little hands. The tree is ownerless, a master of itself -- if that makes any
sense. You polish its cheeks, giving it a nice shine. Not as shiny as the very
first apple you picked, but close. You reminisce that moment for a bit, and
let out a sigh: 'To be young again...'
