Da ew genam frooth. Da ew genam debry lavalow. Ma nebes avalow e'n scala war vord et ow gegin. Ha ma frût en stenow et ow hopart. Ma "aval" en henwyn an lavalow ma. "Tomatys" divenys alja bos creiys "avalow kerenja" (hanow pur goth, completh y story). "Pinaval" ew creiys endelha dreven bos pecar'a "aval pin" (saw nag ew naneyl aval gwir). Pinaval ew wheg. Ellen nei debry aval pin? Na ellen, na ellen nei y dhebry avel aval. Bes wòja fyttya nei ell debry know pin. Gwyweres a gar debry avalow pin, thera vy pedery. Ottòbma prof! Ha'n pêchys, anjei ell bos creiys "avalow gwlânek". Bes pandr'ew an avalow e'n kensa foto? "Avalow dar" ens, ha nag eus nagonan a's debry. Prednek ens.
I like fruit. I like eating fruit. There are several apples in a shallow bowl on a table in my kitchen. And I have fruit in tins in my cupboard. "Apple" is in the names of these fruits. Chopped "tomatos" could be called "love apples" (a very old name, with a complex history). "Pineapple" is called thus because it's like a "pine cone" (but neither is a true apple). Pinapple is sweet. Can we eat a pine cone? No, we cannot eat it as a fruit. But after preparation we can eat pine nuts. Squirrels love eating young pine cones, I think. Here's proof! And the peaches, they can be called woolly apples. But what are the apples in the first photo? They are "oak-apples" and nobody eats them. They are woody.
