Bad apple : a tale of friendship
by Edward Hemingway

Mac the apple and Will the worm quickly become best friends after finding each other in a rainstorm. The other apples in the orchard are mean to Mac when they see him with his "different" buddy and call him names. This is a good story for kids about the importance of friendship and how other people's opinions don't have to ruin the things that make you happy.
