Two children were taken to the apple orchard on a fine day with their family. They picked a lot of apples, and had them all in a basket once they went home. Once at home, the parents told the children to each choose and apple to eat. The first child chose a glossy apple with a brilliant skin, which had no marks or dents. The second child chose a duller looking apple, with a couple of dents and some bruises. The first child bit into their Apple, only to find a worm had been their first.

The children were careful about picking their apples from then on.
