Sai Wit and Wisdom - Eat and Die!

When Peddu Bottu had a high fever, she was made to sit where Swami came to be garlanded by Sai Geetha.  Swami asked, "What happened?"  Pedda Bottu bowed down and told, "Fever, Swami."  Swami said, "Eat this apple and die."  Someone cut the apple into small pieces and gave her.  With this, the fever vanished.  What Swami meant was addressed to the fever - to die.
