The Peach, the Apple, and the Bl

The peach and the apple decided to have a contest to determine which one was more beautiful than the other. However, when tempers flared and the competition appeared to be getting out of hand, a blackberry thrust his head from a nearby bush and carried out, "This dispute's gone on long enough. Let's all be friends and stop this nonsense!"

The loudest quarrels are often the most petty.

桃子和苹果决定进行一次比赛，来决定谁更漂亮。然而，当脾气上来，比赛开始失去控制，一个黑莓拍了下他的脑袋并且说，“这个争论持续得够久了，让我们成为朋友，停止这些无谓的争吵。”

最高声的争吵经常是最不重要的。
