Two apples
Bob, a lovely boy, was taking two apples in his hands when his mom came in his room. His mom smiled and said “Could you give me an apple?”. Bob looked at his mom for a few seconds then looked down apples. Suddenly, Bob bit a piece of an apple on his right hand and a piece of an apple on the other hand.
His mom feel very surprised at his behavior. But then Bob raised one of two apples and said “ This apple for mom because it was sweeter than the other one”

Please correct my mistakes.

Could yiou explain that to me?

A crocodile grabs its prey suddenly. You don't bite an apple suddenly. Thunder happens suddenly. Car crashes happen suddenly. (Perhaps: "The cat suddenly heaped into the air and batted the bird out of the sky.")

Also, consider:

Bob was holding two apples.
(Why?)

I tried to recall the word “hold”, but I couldn’t remember it out.
