He'd always loved apples, and he couldn't resist the temptation of grabbing one out of the pile. He chose the closest, a splendid red piece of fruit that he would never forget because of his overwhelming desire to take it and hide it in the folds of his clothing. A moment after Mathias reached out and snatched it, the pile slid and applies tumbled down all around him. The farmer, who knew his father, would have been satisfied with an apology. But his father, a successful craftsman who was well-known and respected in the town, had insisted on purchasing an entire basketful of apples, because of the trouble Mathias had caused. Mathias got the worst scolding his father had ever given him. Not because of the money, but for the small act of petty thievery, which an upright man like his father would never tolerate. He shouldered his punishment, and in the end was only allowed to eat as single apple from the basket. He spent the night thinking about the pile. He had to remove only one and the whole thing had come down. He wondered if the same thing might happen with any tower, no matter how majestic and imposing it might seem, were someone to remove the right stone from the base. The thought stayed with him throughout his life. Venice now seemed a lot like that pile of apples. If three murders truly represented an irresistible opportunity, then which nobleman would have seized it, knowing that such a thing would cause La Serenissima and everything it represented to come crashing down?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Riccardo Bruni" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/riccardo-bruni/mathias-remembered-that-once-when-he-was-a-boy-he-d-gone-up-to-a-pile/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/843/riccardo-bruni-66390_apples_mathias-remembered-that-once-when-he-was_186876.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/843/riccardo-bruni-66390_apples_mathias-remembered-that-once-when-he-was_186876.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/843/riccardo-bruni-66390_apples_mathias-remembered-that-once-when-he-was_186876.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Mathias remembered that once when he was a boy, he'd gone up to a pile of red apples that lay in the market…” — Riccardo Bruni", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“something hits you, and you are in that moment.
