First of all, that "static" keyword is meaningless there. You can 
remove it.

Secondly, the "getvalue" method is not defined as "static". So, 
it requires a object. It is not bound to class.

Thirdly, when you define "fruit myfruit", the variable "myfruit" 
is still "null". It doesn't point anywhere in memory. Therefore, 
the variable "value" is no where in memory. And, thereby there is 
no spoon, I mean 5.
