It was Homaira and me against the world... In the end, the world always wins. That's just the way of things. -Rahim Khan One time, when I was really 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. -Sohrab.
