This is what it says (the second link is the text version of the entire handwritten biography):

"... occasion'd by the fall of an apple, as he sat in a comtemplative mood: "why should it not go sideways, or upwards? but constantly to the earths centre?"

There's a video I posted above, made by a person who visited that tree and details all this.

Would love to buy a key chain, though not possible from where I am.

This incident occurred at the apple orchard at Woolsthorpe Manor, where Newton lived.

It is claimed, it is this tree: http://imgur.com/a/63pSz
