- We have no choice. Someone hasto be able to go outside, and you are the one mostlikely to look like a boy.
- All right, I'll do it...
- It's done. I'll leave you to change your clothes.
- Parvana, haven't you changed yet?
- I'm coming.
- The following morning, they told Parvana about their plan; they were gonna turn her into a boy. At first, she rejected their plan and didn't want to do it. But after explaining more of their plan to Parvana, she agreed to it.
- Ok mother.
- Here's some money, buy what you were not able to buy yesterday. Hurry back.
- The first thing to do was cut Parvana's hair, so she could look more like a boy. Mother took Parvana to the washroom and cut her hair there.
- Don't tell me. You want the cheapest kind. Bigspender.
- I'll take the cheapest tea. I also need five pounds of rice.
- Next, Parvana put on her older brother's clothes; Hossain's clothes. Hossain had died a few years ago due to an accident: a bombing at his school.
- What's wrong with mother now?
- Not so loud! She got upset after seeing you in Hossain's clothes. Can you blame her?
- Ma-ma-ma...?
- As Parvana finished the preparations, she went out of the washroom and met her family again. Now, her first job as a boy was to buy whatever she couldn't buy yesterday.
- Although she was scared people would find out, they way no one paid attention to her made her feel confident. She was just another boy on the streets! She bought the groceries the family needed and went back home feeling proud.
- As she went back home, mother was seen sad; it was like seeing Hossain again and also because Mrs. Weera went back home. Nontheless, they all continued with house chores and soon fell into slumber.
