The Bad Apple 

In the Mystic Orchard, beneath the sun’s Golden gleam,

Lived two apple siblings, a brother-sister team.

Phoebe and Phillip, with peelss so bright,

Their hearts full of love, their spirits light.


One day to the orchard, a new fruit came,

A banana bright and yellow, Billy was his name.

But Johnny Appleseed, with a heart so cruel,

Bullied poor Billy, made him feel like a fool.


"Your peel's too long, and you're far too yellow,

You don’t belong here, weird fellow! ‘’ he bellowed.

Billy felt alone, in this apple-filled space,

Wishing for a friend, in this big orchard place.


Then came Phoebe and Phillip, with courage so grand,

They stood by Billy, they took a firm stand.

"Johnny, stop this," they said with a plea,

"We're all fruits here, let's live in harmony."


They spoke of kindness, of friendship and fun,

Of how bullying hurts, and can't be undone.

They told Johnny Appleseed, "It's never too late,

To change your ways and choose a kinder fate."


Johnny's eyes opened, now wide with concern,

And in his apple heart, a great lesson was learned.

He made amends to Billy, with tears in his eyes,

"I never should have said those things, and I apologize."


From that day on, the orchard was merry,

No more was the atmosphere ever so scary.

Billy, Phoebe, Phillip, and even Johnny too,

Proved that friendship and kindness always ring true.


So let this fable of fruits be a guide,

To stand up to bullies, with friends by your side.

For in Mystic Orchard, or any place you roam,

Friendship will blossom where kindness is sewn.
