Hi there!

The two lls are the trunks of two trees. The a is an apple.
 
It�s spring. Aplles fall. When an apple falls, it�s painful. It says /ɔː/
So, when you see an apple under a tree, don�t forget: it�s /ɔːl/
 
That �s all for tonight... It �s been a long day...
Greetings from Greece,

 Oops! Apples fall in Autumn / Fall don �t they?
English expressions of pain may not match yours in pronunciation.
Ow! (rhymes with cow) Ouch! etc.
Aww! (with the right intonation) sounds closer to what we say when we see a cute animal.
But if if it helps your students remember- Go for it!

In Greece we say /ɔː/ not only when we are in pain, but when sth is unexpected, not pleasing, sudden. I �m sure native speakers do the same.
/ɔː/ What you would use it for ? When do you say it? Where do you heaar it?
 
And yes!! Apples fall in autumn in Greece, too. Haha! It was late when I wrote it... You see. it �s spring now, and I was between sleeping and writing. Dreaming with open eyes. Haha! Great remark!

dear Apodo,
it doesn �t have to be THAT literal!
apples do fall in Autumn / Fall but what if it fell by accident?
it �s not a rottten apple, it �s red!
and I think the pain
expression is right since we don �t really say ouch! or youch!
when we fall or when we have an accident...
I think its a great ideaSmile and thanks for it papadeli!
