Parvanas Journey Part two

Parvana, Asif and Hassan now walks together to find Parvanas mother and her siblings. After a while they run out of food and are starving. Then they find a little village and Parvana takes a job for a man living there. He promises them that if she cleans his chicken house he gives them some food. Parvana cleans the cage and sees some eggs. She remember’s what her dad had told her about stealing and she leaves them.

When she was done with the cleaning, the man gives her a small pot of food, not enough to even feed just Hassan. Parvana gets angry because that they didn’t got more food. Then she sees the eggs in the chicken house again. She thinks that he would’t get mad because he already got much food, he even got a house. Thats why it should not be such big sorrow for him to lose an egg or two, or a chicken. She sneaks inside again and grabs a chicken and some eggs and then she runs out again. That evening they ate roasted chicken and boiled the eggs. The next day they continued their traveling. They travel for another while, becoming more hungry for every day. Asif keeps teasing Parvana saying that she’s weird and weak.

To prove that she’s not weak Parvana suggests that they should hold a stone-throwing contest. Asif agrees and they start. They are quite equal to the start but Parvana then throws a really far throw which suddenly explodes on the ground, they are in an mine field!
