Riddle no. 1

Riddle no. 1

Riddle dropped by today, asking whether I would buy some more of his apples.
"No," I said, "Riddle the Apple Tree Owner."
"1 poisoned apple was all I needed to eliminate Snow White from my sight."
Then there came Snow White from behind Riddle's Apple-Loaded Cart.

"Riddle no. 1" 是Ms Donlon在中六頭幾課Use of English裡開的creative writing practice題目，就這幾個字，寫在白板上，沒有修English Literature的我們第一個反應都是「o下？！」。

一年後的今天考UE mock，在writing practice book裡找到這"Riddle no. 1"。在中七最後幾課Use of English我們課上到一半得懶懶閒地走到十步以內的天台裡走火警/拍照/跟Ms Donlon閒聊，她說我當初應該drop掉Biology而選修Eng Lit；那刻忽然覺得自己好勁，只是現在看她當年在這riddle下面寫"Good accuracy (but I'm confused by the content!)"，就知道閒聊還是閒聊。

（把這放在崩壞新詩的組別下。崩壞新詩朗誦會是我和ena的一個不良組織，主要職能是給我們光明正大地亂寫扮詩字碎的理由，以及以朗誦會之名強逼對方面對/朗誦自己的字碎。會員就我們兩個，越崩壞越上癮。）
