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 --> 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...'
