Look at the apples now. 



How beautiful they are. 



What boy could help eating them ? 



But this will end all the poor Apple Blos- 

 som's work. 



No, indeed. 



It is just what she wants us to do. 



For then she can be sure that her seed babies 

 will be planted somewhere. 



Look at the cut apples. 



Do you see a green line ? 



Most of the apple is between it and the 

 skin. 



This was once the little green flower cup 

 inside. 



And in the eye were once the five little hand- 

 kerchiefs. 



This is where the little moth lays her egg. 



She does this when the apple is very small.
