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!

Looks like you have the wrong header on it tho. O.o

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

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! :)

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

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

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 ;)
