Mine!
Candace Fleming
A red apple hangs high in a tree, drawing Mouse, Hare, Fox, Deer, and Bear beneath it. Each animal expects the fruit to belong to them alone, and their competing claims erupt into a melee when it finally falls. While they focus on the prize, the apple rolls away. A passing possum finds it and chooses to call it “ours” with the worm already inside it, shifting the ending from possession to generosity.
