Young, an orchard (果园) owner on the highland (山地) in New Mexico, once said, “Do you want to be a useful man to society? If you do so, try to think hard. It' s very important.” Every year Young would box apples and deliver (递送) them to buyers. Different from others was his advertisement (广告), which said, “Unsatisfied after receiving the apples, let us know by letters. Apples don't need sending back, and we'll pay for a loss. ” The advertisement did attract (吸引) lots of buyers. They were satisfied for the apples on the highland tasted delicious.
One year a heavy hailstone (冰雹) attacked (侵袭) the orchard, and after that, the big red apples hanging heavy on the trees were covered all over with scars (疤痕) . Looking at the apples with scars, Young sighed (叹息). “It' s all up now, I have got to pay for a loss. ”Young thought long and hard and could find no way out. He happened to take up an apple and began to eat it. The apple, juicy (汁浓) and refreshing (爽口), tasted good. Only it was not good looking.
One night, a wonderful idea flashed across his mind, out of bed he jumped excitedly. He made up his mind to deliver the apples to the buyers.
The buyers received the apples. The moment they opened the box, they found a piece of paper in each box. It said, “Every apple has a scar hit by hailstone. But have a good look, please. The scar is the special mark of the apples produced on the highland. The apple has a wonderful taste. ”
The buyers tried the apples half believing, half doubting. Almost at once, they let out of a cry, “Aha, delicious! The special highland taste! ”
Young succeeded. After that some buyers specially (特殊地) asked Young to sell them apples with scars.
