THE NEW FRUIT
Through skillful crossbreeding a great botanist created a new kind of
fruit. Its taste was far superior to any other fruit in existence. The
botanist offered a taste of the fruit to three of his neighbors. Each
neighbor, who had his own favorite fruit, gave a reason for refusing the
unique fruit.
'It has no resemblance to an apple.'
'Oranges are good enough for me.'
'I'm afraid it won't taste like a peach.'
From that day forward the botanist offered his new fruit only to those who
could think outside of their past.
_To taste a totally different kind of life, dare to detach yourself from
the familiar and the habitual._"
