Lonely

Once upon a time, there lived a short girl. Solitude was her only companion. She could never figure out why people avoided her. She once decided to go out for a walk on a very cold, snowy day. She wore her favorite sweater, jeans and a pair of nice, furry boots. She headed straight towards an orchard filled with fruit trees. Distraught about her loneliness, she wanted to contemplate about her life and lack of company. While all the trees were covered in snow, she spotted one tree: greener than the rest; symbolizing life and hope. It was an Apple Tree.

She smiled to herself. She approached the tree and felt like there was a subtle need to make contact. She did. "Speak to me, O tree! I have no friends." There came no reply. Angry and disgusted, she kicked the tree. Tears came streaming down her face. "Why am I so lonely?!" But Mother Nature was very kind. She gave her a sign. A couple of apples fell to her feet. She was delighted! "Oh thank you, sweet tree. I am indebted to you for your kindness." The tree replied: "Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans], Boots with the fur [With the fur]."

Never mess with Mother Nature. Never.
