Apple

Procession of working class is lining by a ladder. Those in front are climbing. Where? On the top is a magic apple, they say, which brings to a winner everything, what he is wishing for. What do they wish for? Health who lack it. Older wish to get their youth back, especially good teeth. Most of them wish for better salary. Money help to fulfill wishes. "The apple brings power," everybody whispers. Those on the top are stepping on the hands those bellow them. "When you are climbing to the top be careful to step on the hands under you, because you will be meeting them, when you will be stepping down," I was told by one wise man.
