Chapter 140

An apple... My mother wants an apple and there it is hanging on the tree before me. A shiny red apple that looked so delicious. I know that I wasn't allowed to take any fruit from any tree, but my mother is sick. She needs to eat or she would die. Thinking that my mother's life is on the line, I reached my hand on the apple and jumped, trying to take it from the tree. I jumped three times, but I was too short to reach it, so I decided to climb up the tree. I used my limbs and pulled myself up on the tree and took the apple. Finally, the fruit is on my hand. "Hey you!" Someone shouted. I looked at the gardener who was pointing his finger at me. "What are you doing there? Who told you to take an apple from that tree?" I hurriedly went down the tree and walked towards him to explain. "I'm sorry, my mother is sick and she needs to eat." "Aren't you forbidden to take fruits from any tress?" He asked, ignoring what I just told him. "I'm sorry, but my mother needs the apple." "Give me that!"
