The bowl of cherries stood in the centre of the table, each fruit almost glowing with ripe, juicy sweetness.

Eldarion eyed the fruit longingly. He had been told not to eat them, but they looked so tasty! How could he resist?

“Surely no one would miss just one?” the little boy asked himself.

Soon the bowl was filled only with stones while Eldarion’s fingers and mouth were crimson with the juice of the forbidden fruit.

“Eldarion!” cried his mother accusingly. “Those cherries were meant for us all to share for dessert.”

Eldarion’s face turned as red as the purloined cherries.

Awwww...Eldarion sounded so cute. He must have looked a sight with all the cherry stains on his cheeks!

YOU HAVE A CHERRY TREE THAT BEARS FRUIT!?

*is so jealous*

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

You will laugh at this,but until last year I believed the cherries weren't edible, but then I decided to try one and it tasted nice.It is the tree with white blossom that I've posted photos here of.

The birds usually beat me to the fruit,alas!

I've not got green fingers at all and leave everything to nature,so it surprises me! I hope you have one one day.

He truly lives up to the adage 'caught red-handed!' I love cherries.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

He does indeed! I think cherries are my favourite fruit.

No I'm really hungry! *g* I so hope the cherries will be ripe soon. ;-) I can't really blame Eldarion for giving in to the temptation, though I think his parents really would have liked some cherries, too. Loved it! :)

Thank you,I'm pleased you enjoyed it I was eating some cherries off my tree when I wrote this. I think I find cherries as hard to resist as Eldarion!

[silivren-tinu.livejournal.com]

I wonder if a cherry tree would fit on our balcony! LOL!!!

Mine is huge!

Hee hee! Boys will be boys! I sense a lecture on sharing brewing for young Eldarion here.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased this made you smile. I'm sure Arwen is going to read him a lecture now!

Poor Eldarion, I imagine how ashamed he must have been, but loving cherries as I do, I know immense the temptation must have been. LOL

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I doubt I could have resisted temptation either LOL!

Nice. :) I like the color red.


It's almost like Eldarion is the kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar...after he eats all the cookies ;)

Thank you,I'm pleased you enjoyed this.At least Eldarion enjoyed the cherries before he will get a scolding LOL!
