Apples

Where I come from, there’s only 1 tribe, the apples. But ever since we appointed a new chief (midnight) our tribe started to swing in another direction. Midnight wanted to expand our horizons, he wanted more land, more everything, especially power.


He decided to one day send out a team of 3 members of the Apple clan, Ocean, Lemon, and his best friend, Piano. After many many long days they came back. What they brought back with them apart from there food and clothes was information, And It was surprising. They told about how they crossed the great flow (a river), to not disappoint Mid-night. Across the great flow was ANOTHER TRIBE! They called themselves the oranges; they also said how they spoke a different "speak" or language. After many long hours of watching them. They deciphered that they spoke opposites.


So another day. Mid-night decided to send another scout group. It consisted of 3 members of the Apple clan again. It was me, Darkness, my friend, Gold, and her sister, Lake. After a night of rest, we set off for our perilous journey, with the knowledge of their speak so that we may interact. If the God smiles down upon us, we might find a trade partner. We crossed the great flow and to our surprise we found the oranges. As soon as they spotted us, they assumed a very serious expression. Thinking we did wrong we all greeted with their way of saying hello, we said “good-bye”. One of them put on a smile. But it quickly faded away. I turned toward my team-mates we all said at the same time “fire truck” which meant “what did we do?” We all assumed that they were very serious. Something the first scout group left out of their report. We tried to assume their same expression, but due to our nature as apples it was quite hard, mainly because we were just so cheerful. After associating with them, they found out a way to better communicate with us. We played a game. It was different compared to ours because they played with playing cards, not with dice. They seemed to love winning. So that ended our day at the Oranges. We made our way back to camp.

Back at camp, we told Mid-night of our trip. He seemed content of our report. The Oranges seemed nice, although they were serious. As a new day was born Mid-night decided to send a third scout group. It was a good idea, mainly because now the third group can fully interact with the Oranges. As they left, a pleasant surprise came upon us; a group of Oranges came to our village, they actually learned to speak like us. So I started to talk to them, they even knew how to play our games. Mid-night seemed extremely pleased during the whole interaction.

In the end, after many months, we got a new trading partner, the oranges, Mid-night was extremely pleased with all of us, especially the scouts (that was me). So now Mid-night is a name that will go down in history, because he was the first person to ever establish a firm trading bond. Also the scout’s names will go down in history, because we all discovered the Oranges. With that bringing my story to an end, remember to always expand your horizons.
