So the guest is thinking – remember, we’re talking now about a good guest who wants to get everything he can out of this apple; so he’s thinking, “How did that happen? Where did it come from? Was it DuPont Chemical Corporation that produced that apple? You mean to say it came by itself? Could such a thing happen by itself? A miracle of packaging and flavoring. Oh no! There must be a great Chef with a capital C Who could produce such a concoction.”
And then when he opens up the apple inside there are some coupons entitling him to some more apples. All he needs is to spit them out on the ground and an apple tree will grow. How did that happen? Seeds, reproduction. ‘An accident’ of reproduction? Are you crazy? Can there be an accident of reproduction? And so the apple seeds demonstrate that there's a Great Designer for the universe.
And so when you're giving your guest an apple you're giving him knowledge. That’s the biggest gift you can give him, to help him recognize there's a Creator. Of course, he knows there’s a Creator; he’s a frum Jew. His mother and father told him so and his rebbe too. But as he’s chewing on the apple he’s knowing it more and more.
