The Earth continues on its slow course around the sun. The stars blinked happily in their never ending blinks. Three hundred rounds around the sun later, on a particular country located in a particular region of the Earth, a lone pear tree stood alone in a desert.

It admires the sunlight that helped in to grow, suck so much water from deep underground water springs in the desert that all the tribal people in this desert died from thirst. It felt guilty. Itfelt sad. It wanted to change, to change for the better, to help this world, to start life in this lifeless desert again.

It let out a high frequency call for help that no one can hear. Mother nature heard it though, and responded. Slowly but surely, the fruits assumed a spherical shape. Its green exteriors gradually turned red under the sun. Its taste improved, so as to attract more people to eat it.

The desert became populated again, with people flooding into the desert just to taste its juicy and cruchy fruits. The seeds were collected and distributed for far-sighted farmers to plant them on farms. Apples became common in Earth once again. This can be seen from the fact that an apple cost more than a pear.
