Your story is packed with symbolism and allusion. Replace the oranges with any number of things or attitudes and you have society in general. People don’t like anyone who is different: colour, religion or lifestyle. Your gentle, beautiful tale is a reminder that people should stand up for themselves and embrace their differences. Lyrically told, a true delight!
Your comments are a delight to the hivers, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, for me it's fantastic. Thank you for your support.
