[Tutor] Calling a dictionary entry inside of a function

I am trying to use a parameter of a function to call a word inside a 
dictionary.
Here is my code
wordList = {
    'Apple' : ["A delicious snack"],
    'Word' : ["This code is not working..."],
}
def define(word):
    print wordList['Word']


When I use define('Apple') it returns ['This code is not working...'].
I tried defining word with a raw_input, but that didn't work, and I 
wouldn't know how to have them define another word.
