THE ANGELS ON THE BERRY COMMITTEE



....a thousand eons ago.... maybe.....



The Angels on the Berry Committee
      up in Heaven, helping the Creator
plan a nice "CREATION" for Man
had been meeting..."it seemed like
      forever," and they figured they had 
already thought up and 
      designed a few thousand,
or more berries...counting varieties in
     families....

When one day, an older thoughtful,
      "old-timey" angel named 
Petronius, who usually was laconic
     in debating berries
stood up and said:

"I have a proposal for a totally NEW
      BERRY...and it'll be called
a 'CHERRY.' It'll be dark red, bigger
    than a grape, and sweet.
It'll need a TREE to be grown from a 
    little tiny seed!"

"O great committee, keep in mind
       if we don't do this, there'll
be no:
              Cherry jelly
              Cherry Danishes
              Cherry tarts
              Mom's fried pies
              Cherry-nut ice cream
and      Cherries-sitting- atop- whipped-
                   cream on a thousand desserts."

Petronius further recommended a special
     cake to be called an "Angel Food Cake"
topped by a cherry icing.

He then produced a tiny seed and and said:
      "Like most of the other growing things,
this CHERRY TREE will grow from a tiny seed,
       and will eventually bear fruit."

So another miracle was added to the coming 
      Creation---
 along with ten million others...

Just a little-bitty seed...
