Once upon a time, in the late summer of 1666, a young boy named Newton was sitting in his garden at Woolsthorpe Manor.
As Newton sat under an apple tree, he noticed something extraordinary.
An apple fell from the tree and landed right next to him!
This made Newton curious, and he started wondering why the apple fell straight down instead of going sideways or upwards.
Newton thought and thought, until he came up with a brilliant idea!
He called it his 'system of gravitation,' which explained why things always fall towards the Earth.
This discovery helped Newton understand how the Moon orbits around the Earth and why planets move in space.
From that day on, Newton became one of the greatest scientists in history, all because of an apple falling from a tree.
