¿Cuánto tiempo? - me preguntó Sohrab.
-No lo sé. Un poco.
Sohrab se encogió de hombros y sonrió, una sonrisa más ancha aquella vez.
-No me importa. Puedo esperar. Es como las manzanas verdes.
-¿Las manzanas verdes?
-Una vez, cuando era muy pequeño, trepé a un árbol y comí unas manzanas que aún estaban verdes. Se me hinchó el estómago y se me puso duro como un tambor. Mi madre me dijo que si hubiese esperado a que madurasen, no me habrían sentado mal. Así que ahora, cuando quiero algo de verdad, intento recordar lo que ella me dijo sobre las manzanas.
