Korean American Friendship Gift

On Friday the Korean American Friendship Committee delivered gifts to hospital departments. The box said "Fru Story...when you wish to send your sincere heart":

I love the way Koreans use the English language. I'm not sure I even understand what this phrase means. The more I read it, the less sense it makes! My question is, do Koreans write this way on purpose, or is something lost in translation? Anyway, the box contained individually-wrapped apples and persimmons:

The crisp Fuyu next to its squishy Hachiya cousin:
I guess the aptly-shaped Hachiya could symbolize giving one's sincere heart.

They did include the 5 a day motto on the box -thought that was cool! Did you eat your fruit yet? The fuyu persimmons was good!
