(Concerned) Are you OK??? Yes, why? (Concerned) Well I heard you saying Everything comes to an end so I was referring to my apple. Its my favorite fruit. And now, Im out of apples and wish I could afford more. HereI have one fresh from the farmers marketwould you like it? Thanks. (He bites the apple) If you cant afford more, have you checked out SNAP? SNAP? SNAP is the new name for the Food Stamp Program. They give you help so you can buy good, healthy foods vegetables, meats, and even apples. (We kept apples since this is the first time we establish Ramons character and that he loves apples. Also, apples are not seasonal.) I dont think I qualify. I own my house and I live with my daughter and grandson. You might. SNAP is a program to help people. If you dont applyyoull never know.
