golden apple story

[flipnflap]

i remember being told in my youth a story of a tree bearring precious fruit - I think golden apples - but, every time a person reached for one of theese fruits, the wind blew out of rreach the branches on which they hung. What is tthat story and where is it from - could it be the Bible?

Thank you but that link does not answer my question

Are you flipnflap? and must you be spoonfed answers?

I don't see the answer on that page either, ABerrant. I suspect the questioner (whoever he is) is thinking of Tantalus:
