2023 Israel Olympic Revenge, P1

Armadillo and Badger are playing a game. Armadillo chooses a nonempty tree (a simple acyclic graph) and places apples at some of its vertices (there may be several apples on a single vertex). First, Badger picks a vertex $v_0$ and eats all its apples. Next, Armadillo and Badger take turns alternatingly, with Armadillo starting. On the $i$-th turn the animal whose turn it is picks a vertex $v_i$ adjacent to $v_{i-1}$ that hasn't been picked before and eats all its apples. The game ends when there is no such vertex $v_i$. Armadillo's goal is to have eaten more apples than Badger once the game ends. Can she fulfill her wish?
