                     One Bad Apple Once upon a time there lived an apple farmer.  He was very good at growing apples and it gave him great satisfaction to see all his hard work over the year come to fruitful with a glorious harvest. One day as he went for a walk, he notices something out of place. There’s one bad apple sitting high up on his most prized bountiful tree. “If that one bad apple were to spread to the rest of the apples and then the rest of the field my whole crop will be spoilt” he says to himself  “I must do something, but what?” He goes to the tractor shed to fetch a long pole. “That way I can poke it out the tree and stop the problem” He says to himself.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand, “Today my best friend slapped me on the face.” They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.
