QUESTION Betsy Dehn, Spencerville, Md., writes that when she was young, there was a story that went something like this: It was nearing the Christmas holidays and the apple tree was feeling sad and forlorn. His branches were bare and plain whereas the pine tree was decorated with tinsel and glit ter. The apple tree complained to God and God said to the apple tree that he would give the tree a soecial gift. Betsy doesn’t remember the remainder of the story, but God ended up putting a Christmas star in the heart of each apple. If you cut an apple crosswise, you will find a perfectly shaped five point star in the heart of the apple. Betsy would like to have the complete story of how the star came to appear in the center of the apple.
