There was a funny thing. It is about apples, but it feels like a good story to tell you.

My little brother and sister, Tex, Indi and I always stayed in the city, so we were so happy about apple picking（采摘）. We drove about five hours. Lastly, we got to the farm. Our parents went to help our uncle. We didn't go with them. We stopped to visit the baby sheep.

When our picking bags were full, we put them into a big box. But as I put my third bag, I found something.

"Hey!" I called to Tex and Indi. " Why are you taking bites（咬）of all the apples in this box? Can't you just eat one apple?" "We didn't do it!" they said. "It's not nice to call us liars!" At that time we heard a sound, the baby sheep were eating apples.

"We told you it wasn't us," said Tex and Indi.

"I'm sorry I thought you were lying," I said. "Next time I will wait（等待）until I'm sure about it." "You're right," said Aunt. "Things aren't always as they show."
