Newton must have turned in his grave

My father and Gargi were literally sitting under an Apple Tree today when a big apple fell from the tree. Dad started telling her the story of Isaac Newton.

My father told her that Newton started wondering why the apple fell down to the ground and why it did not float in the air or go up.

At this point Gargi got agitated and told my father that Newton was wrong and he shouldn’t have any doubts about the direction of the apples fall. The apple HAS to fall down to the ground.

Dad and I asked her why?

She said, “Grandfather, the apple has to fall to the ground for somebody to EAT it, isn’t it” .

Newton must have turned in his grave.
