The best ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just pick up the rotten apples from the ground, that aren't as good, but are easy.
So the apples at the top begin to think that there is something wrong with them, when really they are amazing.
They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
