N ne is sure where and when the expressin “apple­pie rder” began.It's said that the husewives f New England liked t cut their apples in pieces.Then they filled pie pans with them in an rganised way，rw upn rw.As ne writer said，the wmen f New England lved t have everything in its place.This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “apple­pie rder” began in New England.
Anther ld expressin，“apple f discrd”，cmes frm an ancient myth (神话)，hwever.The myth says that all the gds and gddesses were sitting arund the table t celebrate the marriage f Thetis and Peleus.One f the gddesses—Eris was a trublemaker.She threw a glden apple n the table t be given as a prize t the mst beautiful gddess.It was nt an easy decisin t make.Hw culd they chse amng Hera，Athena and Aphrdite? Paris was given the task f deciding.He decided t give the glden apple t Aphrdite.Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him.This，the myth says，began the lng Trjan War.
At ne time，the tmat was called a lve apple.That was a mistake.In the sixteenth century，the Spanish brught the tmat frm Suth America.The Spanish then sld the tmat t Mrcc.Italian traders carried it n t Italy.The Italian name fr the tmat was “pm di Mr”—apple f the Mrs.When French grwers brught it in frm Italy，they thught “di Mr” meant “d'amur”—the French wrd fr lve.And s “pm di Mr” became the apple f lve.
Peple believe many things abut the apple.One belief is that it has great pwer f keeping peple healthy.A very cmmn expressin is “An apple a day keeps the dctr away.”
Anther belief is based n facts.The expressin is “One rtten apple spils the barrel.” When an apple begins t g bad，it ruins all the ther apples arund it in the bx.The expressin has cme t mean that ne bad persn in a grup can cause everyne t act badly.

“I thught that it wuld be pleasant t spend sme time with yu，” I respnded. “Just the tw f us. ”

We went t a restaurant that, althugh nt elegant, was very nice and czy. My mther tk my arm as if she was the First Lady. After we sat dwn, I had t read the menu. Her eyes culd nly read large print. Halfway thrugh the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mm sitting there staring at me with a smile n her lips.
“It was I wh used t have t read the menu when yu were small，” she said.
“Then it's time yu relax and let me return the favr，” I respnded.

As we arrived at her huse later, she said, “I'll g ut with yu again, but nly if yu let me invite yu. ”I agreed.When I gt hme, my wife had prepared a rich dinner fr me. I sat dwn and talked with her abut my feeling tgether with my mther. My wife was prud fr what she did fr me. She said when she was yung, she was very naughty, and her mther ften punished her fr her wrng deeds. Later when she grew up she became aware f her mther's heart. But her mther died f lung cancer and she never had time t thank her.S she decided t invite my mther fr me t eat ut. I kissed her with my eyes full f tears.
At that mment I understd the imprtance f saying, “I LOVE YOU. ”I thanked my wife and that dinner date was anther time fr me t remember. Yu culd hardly imagine hw happy I was t have the chance t say these wrds and return the favr in time. Nthing in the wrld was mre imprtant than this.
