The story goes.
One morning a door to door salesman was walking down an old country road.
At the end of a road was a farmhouse.
Around the yard and at the edge of the road was a board fence.
In the middle of the front yard was a huge apple tree.
Full of red ripe apples.
Blown over from a storm the night before.
The farmer was leaning against the fence looking at the tree.
The salesman walk up to the fence, and look at the damage for a little while.
Finally the salesman says:
“Man, that is terrible. Such a beautiful tree & all those apples. What are you gonna do?”
The farmer sorta looks over at him, then back at his apple tree and simply replies:
“Pick the fruit & burn the rest”
