When I think about my childhood, the happiest things happened in my two small courtyards. There were eight grape trees, two pear trees and a fig tree. All of these were my dad’s. In every harvest season, it is an interesting thing to find fruit to eat. Especially the grapes, when we walked through the courtyard, I just needed to stretch my hand over my head and I could take the ripe grapes.
