Cuando era una niña me gustaba comer unas ciruelas inmaduras directamente del ciruelo que teníamos en el patio. Ahora mi hija hace lo mismo...wink

As a child I liked to eat unripe plums straight from the plum tree we had in the yard. Now my daughter does the same.

Hola swing :o Can't comment on the Spanish but I feel the English should say "Unripened apples are much more tasty than ripened ones." - nonombre, JUN 24, 2010
It's either "ripe" or "ripened", "riped" is incorrect. - amykay, JUN 24, 2010
thanks! - swing, JUN 24, 2010
