Two Apple Trees

In the jungle, there are two apple trees who produce different colours of apples. One tree produces red apples and another tree produces green apples.

One day, the red apple tree challenges the green apple tree, "Let's compete, see who can have more apple trees in this jungle."

The green apple tree agrees.

All the animals like to eat the red apples, as they are sweeter. The green apples are a bit sour. Everyday, when animals come to the red apple tree and ask for the apples, the red apple tree says, "NO! I need to use these apples to bear more apple trees. You can't eat them!"

So the animals have no choice but go to green apple tree to ask for apples, "Take as many as you can. I'm sorry that my apples are not sweet enough."

But the animals like the attitude of green apple tree. So, everyday more and more animals come to get the apples.

"Stupid! You let them eat all the apples, how are you going to compete with me. I'll be the winner. Hahah..." thinks the red apple tree.

However, red apple tree slowly realises that the seeds in his apples don't grow into trees. They are inside the apples and can't get out to become trees. Slowly, all the apples drop down from the tree and become rotten. All the seeds die.

As for green apples, they are being eaten by animals from different places. After eating, they throw the seeds all over the jungle. Slowly, all these seeds grow up to become apple trees.

Not long after that, the whole jungle is full of green apple trees.
