It’s a fruity proposition,
hoping for the best to be;
The women await their apples,
as the men descend the tree.
In Ancient Greece, any man who wanted to propose to a woman would have to toss her an apple. If she caught it, he would know she accepted his offer. If the woman did not catch it, he would have to propose to another woman and hope for the best.
