Father And Son Relationship Flashcards
I already hated
All the kids he was building the orphanage for; sometimes i wished they’d all died along with their parents’
‘He motioned me
To hold his hat and i was glad to, because then everyone would see that he was my father, my Baba’
He asked me
To fetch Hassan too but i lied and told him Hassan had the runs. I wanted Baba all to myself’
‘He patted Hassan
On the back, even put his arm around his shoulder’
‘I had killed
his beautiful princess, hadn’t I? The least I could have done was have had the decency to turn out a little more like him. But i hadn’t turned out like him. Not at all.’
‘Maybe hassan was
The price i had to pay, the lamb i had to slay, to win baba’
‘In his arms,
I forgot what i’d done. And that was good’
‘Mine was
Baba. His was Amir. My name’
‘Like father
like son’
‘As it turns
out, Baba and I were more alike than I’d ever known’
