Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. Of all the things we can choose to be in this life, the most important thing we can choose to be is kind. Kindness is both free and priceless. As the great American author Mark Twain put it, “kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” In today's stories, we’ll get to see how a little kindness can go a long way. How one person’s kindness can change another’s life for ever, and even, often, their own.
