what am I

Natalie can you give us a couple of clues, how old is your son, and where are you geographically?

Peter picked up the apple and looked at it. The apple was green and shiny in the sun. With it's stiff brown stem sticking up like a chimney it did look like a little house with no doors and no windows.

"But what about the star?" asked Peter. "Where is the star?"
"Ins-s-side," whispered the Wind. "Cut it open from s-s-side to s-s-side."
Peter took his pocket knife and did as the wind instructed. He cut the apple from side to side and when he opened it, there was a star inside holding the apple's seeds.

"Thank you, Wind" called Peter as he ran towards him home.
