Dear Laura,
Why are apples so? I really could not figure this out, so I would really appreciate your help.

Dear Cascading Martin,
Why are apples so... So what exactly? So red? Well, I have a story about that. Long ago, the Great Shee formed the first male Norn, Adam, and sent him to live in Albia's garden to watch over it. Adam was allowed to eat all the fruit within it, including the ripe and succulent green apples which laden every tree branch. The Great Shee then put him into a deep sleep, took a rib from his side and from that, formed the first female Norn, Eve, to be his companion. So anyway, one day Eve said that she was "intensely hungry for protein" and so decided to eat an apple. The poor bashful apple was so overwhelmed by Eve's radiant beauty, that it blushed a deep crimson and apples have been red ever since.
