"my candy apple adventure" It Was the best event of my day. I loved the sweetness that filled my mouth as I bit into the sugary coating. With my second bite, I munched contentedly on the apple underneath. Its crunchy tartness Was the perfect balance to the smooth sweetness of the outside. Then the apple had a magical effect on me. Suddenly I remembered when I Was seven years old, Walking through the county fairgrounds, holding my father's hand. We stopped at a refreshment stand, and he bought us each a candy apple. I had never had one before, and I asked him What it Was. "This is a very special fruit," he said. "If you ever feel sad, all you have to do is eat a candy apple, and it Will bring you sWeetness" NoW, years later, his Words came back to me, and as I ate my candy apple, I felt the World turn sWeet once more.
