Bones. They were going to dig up bones. "I'm
not sure this is a good idea," Parvana said to
Shauzia the next morning. She had her blanket
and her father's writing things with her. She
hadn't been able to tell her mother about going
bone-digging, so she didn't have a reason to
leave her usual work things behind.
"I'm glad you brought the blanket. We can use
it to haul away the bones." Shauzia ignored
Parvana's objections. "Come on. We'd better
hurry or we'll get left behind."
Getting left behind did not sound so terrible to
Parvana, but with a quick look across the
market to the painted-in window with her
secret friend, she obediently fell in behind
Shauzia as they ran to catch up with the group.
