A Quote by Khaled Hosseini
One time, when I was very little, I climbed a tree and ate these green, sour apples. My stomach swelled and became hard like a drum, it hurt a lot. Mother said that if I'd just waited for the apples to ripen, I wouldn't have become sick. So now, whenever I really want something, I try to remember what she said about the apples.

They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still,
