Question

A Juicier and Sweeter Apple

A father and his daughter were flying a kite in the park. The young daughter was a little bit tired, so they took a break on the bench（长凳）. When the daughter saw an old man selling apples, she asked her father to buy her some apples. Her father didn’t bring much money with him, but it was enough to buy two apples. So he did, and gave both of them to his daughter, smiling.

His daughter held one apple in her right hand. Then the father asked her if she could share one of the apples with him. When the girl heard this, she quickly took a bite from one apple. And before her father could speak, she also took a bite from the second apple. The father was surprised. He wanted to know why his daughter acted in such a greedy(贪婪的) way. He was lost in thought. Perhaps he was just thinking too much. His daughter was too young to understand sharing and giving. A smile disappeared from his face.

Suddenly, his daughter held up the apple in her left hand and said, "Daddy, take this one! It is much juicier and sweeter. Her father didn’t know what to say. He felt bad about making the judgment(判断) so fast about a small child. So he smiled again, knowing why his daughter quickly took a bite from each apple.
