今天，果之国决定举办一次水果选美大赛。水果小姐们听了，高兴极了，因为这是她们大显身手的最好机会啦。
选美比赛那一天，各种水果打扮得漂漂亮亮地来到现场。这里早已人山人海，热闹非凡!
首先，礼仪小姐兴奋地宣布：“亲爱的女士们先生们，大家好!果之国水果选美大赛现在开始……现在有请一号上场，掌声欢迎!”
第一号的苹果小姐笑容满面地走上讲台，她先向四周的观众扫视了一遍，一脸得意的神色，好像冠军非她莫属了。她骄傲地说：“大家好!我是人人皆知的苹果小姐。我的用处很多，可以……我……我……”苹果一开始讲得滔滔不绝，但到后面却忘记了台词，结巴巴的说不出来了。她红着脸，不好意思地低下了头，垂头丧失地走下来了。大家议论纷纷，都说苹果小姐虽然外表很美，但也太傲慢了。
