Once I read a fable called the power of an apple. A traveler was caught by a sudden sandstorm and had lost his direction completely. What was worse, his backpack, which contains water and food was blown away by the gale. Desperately, he searched all the pockets on his clothes and found a green apple. “Hooray! I still have an apple!” The traveler shouted to himself happily. With the apple tightly in his hand, he set off to find the way out of the desert. Every time when felt thirst, hungry or tired, he would look at the apple in his hand. By doing so, he felt the strength came back to him gradually. In the end, the traveler survived from the desert. The green apple which he never touched was already shriveled, but it saved his life.
“I still have an apple”, this is the essence of a belief. And in my opinion, we all have such an apple in our heart. It is the flame that never dies out. With it in our soul, we can conquer any hardship and confusion in adversity. It might be tiny, but it can support the sky of life, allow you to pursue the happiness. If you still have an apple in you heart, you should never ever give up.
