What the ??? Who is Longus, and who are Daphnis and Chloe, and why the hell didn't she just go to the store for another apple instead of risking her neck by climbing to the top of the tree for the last remaining apple? And who came up with these names???
oh wait this is a fact thread not a question thread.
