Summary
Atef bandages the scrape along Yusuf’s knee, patting it gently with his hand when he’s done before scooching back to place everything carefully back into the little box.
When he’s done, his eyes flick to the fig seeds drying on Yusuf’s sleeve.
“I’m going to make you a deal,” he says then. “You can pick as many figs as you want, as long as you pick an equal amount for me. I cannot climb as high to reach the figs at the top anymore, so in this you’ll be doing me a favour at least.”
Yusuf goes to shake his head, fear striking his heart.
“I will never climb again,” he swears, with all the finality and graveness of a young boy who will certainly climb again.
A look into some of the ways Yusuf has dodged, (narrowly) avoided, or out-smarted death in his long life – or, a slightly exaggerated but mostly true account of the times Yusuf thought he would die, but didn’t.
