In ISC we had a book “Rhyme and Reason”. Our English teacher read out the short poem and asked us to explain. I try to put the few words from that poem below: - “If you don’t like my apples, Don’t shake the tree, I am not after your boyfriend, He is after me.” At the time we were hardly concerned with apples so kept shut. Today I can certainly say they were not grapes; neither guava (Indian Fruit) . Lol Wonder if Eve was programmed to get her apple tree shaken only then, in the classic evolution; or in today’s revolution or both? It is said “The devil of a snake” was shaking the apple tree for Adams temptation. Which apple tree was the snake really shaking? Today jealous men will want to know Eves side of the theory.
