One day in Poland in 1750, a man and his wife were arguing about him wanting to buy two cows and she said one would be enough. He got so angry that he said I am going to leave you because I am sick of arguing about everything we do, and he went out the back door and across the corn field and yelled, "I am never coming back."
She sat down in her kitchen and cried. She said out loud, "I wish I could get another chance to save our marriage." Then she got up and put on her shawl and went out to find her husband. She went out her back door and she saw him going up a hill past the corn field. She started to run, but she got too tired and sat down for a few minutes. When she started to catch him she walked as fast a she could, but she could see her husband on top of the hill, and she knew she could never catch him. She said, "God , please make my husband stop so I can go to him and tell him I am sorry and he was right and I love him."
And God heard her and put a tree full of apples in front of her husband to show him down, but he picked one and kept on walking. The old woman lay face down and said, "God, please! Please! help me catch up to my husband. So God put a tree of peaches in front of the man. And when the man got to the tree he picked one and ate it as he kept on walking. SHE SAID, "GOD, PLEASE HELP ME, I CAN'T CATCH UP TO HIM!
SO GOD PLANTED A FIELD OF STRAWBERRIES AND THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE LITTLE HEARTS. When the man saw the strawberries he had to kneel down to pick them. As he picked them, he noticed they were all shaped like hearts. They made him think about his wife and he knelt down and ate strawberries until he saw his wife on top of the hill he had climbed. He thought she must love me very much to come so far to be with me, so he ran to her, and she ran to him, and they hugged each other and cried. That is why we call strawberries the Heart fruit.
I did not write this. I do not know where it came from. If you know where it came from, let me know.
