Once upon a time, there was a cook named Red who loved to make new recipes. One day, he decided to make an apple mash. He took some green apples and cut them into pieces. Then, he added some yellow cinnamon to it. But, as he was cooking, he accidentally added too much cinnamon! The mash turned out to be so red that it looked like it was made of strawberries instead of apples. The kids who tasted it, laughed and said "this is the best apple mash we've ever had!” From that day on, Red's apple mash became famous and every kid wanted a taste. The end.
