An Apple for $7?!

Lee Chong Boun, 57, decided 10 years ago to close his Nike shop near the city of Chungju, in South Korea, to try and reshape apples. After 5 years of trying, he's succeeded. He has created a square looking apple by placing the growing apple in a plastic container attached to branches of apple trees. A square apple costs $7 a piece. Where's the market for such a pricey apple? South Korea and China are obsessed with education. Lee figures parents will do all they can to motivate their sons and daughters to do well in the November university entrance exams. Thus give an apple for a gift! In the meantime, I'll stick with a good apple from Suter's.
These are the days my friend,
Jim "Train"
