Apple Pip




Greefy was an unusually privileged apple seed. Most apple seeds share their apple home with up to fifteen other pips, and therefore learn not to be selfish, or to have a bad temper. Greefy on the other hand had lucked out somehow and was the only seed living in his entire apple. Unfortunately as a result, he was pretty much a spoiled brat.

"Ahhh, this is the life," Greefy said as he put on his sunglasses. Little did he know that some hungry guy had just picked his house up for a little snack. The man licked his lips and took a bite. "HEY!" Greefy cried. "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WALK-IN CLOSET?? I JUST REPAINTED THAT!" He wiggled and wriggled his way to the outside of the apple and popped his head out. He saw the man's teeth crunching up all of his shoe and tie collection. It was too much. Greefy knew what he had to do.

He jumped out of the apple and fell on the ground. Greefy snarled, and spun around in a little circle and then slithered under the dirt. Straining, with all of his angry might he became a sprout in mere seconds. "Ahaha it's working! It's working!" He strained some more, and became a sapling, then a full blown tree!

"HEY YOU," Greefy bellowed, now the size of a large tree. "STOP EATING MY HOME!" He started to throw apples at the man, who ran away pretty much as soon as Greefy started talking. Greefy realized really soon that he would no longer ever be able to live in an apple again, and that maybe he had hatched that plan too hastily. "Way too hastily," Greefy thought as he looked at big smelly dumpster that was right next to where he had grown.
