A long time ago, there was a dark forest.
Inside lived... A fat bear.
It likes to eat apples the most.
…
One day, a group of students followed their teacher for a spring outing in the forest. The fat bear hid awkwardly behind the trees. He liked such noisy moments very much. The laughter and noise of children will make it think that it does not need to be lonely.
"You know what? The freshest stuff tastes best."
"Oh. No wonder these strawberries are so sour."
"Give me the strawberries. I'll help you destroy them."
…
The fat bear overheard this conversation and thought, isn't the time when apples are freshest when they are growing on fruit trees? So, after some inner struggle, Fat Bear left the forest where he had lived for many years.
I have to admit that Fat Bear was lucky. He found an apple tree in an abandoned manor.
Probably the apple tree was too "young" and had no fruit in the first year. In the second year, a lot of fruit was produced, but several heavy rains came, and by the end of summer, there were not many fruits left on the tree. When it was time to harvest, Fat Bear found that the fruit was too tall and he couldn't reach it.
The fat bear didn't want to shake the fruit tree with all his strength. He didn't want to hurt the tree.
Fat Bear chose to wait.
Wait until the melon is ripe and the stem falls.
…
Many times, we are that bear.
Love is apples.
