Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes things are not as they seem. For example, imagine a fruit that looks tasty on the outside but is rotten inside; it shows that you can't always trust what you see at first glance. This idea applies to people too. Someone might look friendly and kind, but they might not have good intentions. Likewise, a person who seems serious or unfriendly may actually be very nice and kind-hearted once you get to know them. It's important to look beyond looks and first impressions to understand the true nature of people or things. In life, taking the time to find out more can help you make better decisions and avoid misunderstandings.
