The boy he had been waiting for passed by and Zahid sprang out at him
like a hungry tiger. Dolah fell to the ground. Immediately, Zahid began hitting him,
first in the stomach and then on the jaw.
The other children tried to break up the fight, but without success. The two
boys kept on fighting. Zahids intense anger increased his strength and although
he ended up bruised and bloody, he finally won.
Dolah was completely exhausted. Zahid then opened Dolahs bag. He
looked for the pencil. He found it. Then he broke it into bits and threw the pieces
into the river. Afterwards, he ran home as swiftly as lightning.
As soon as he reached home, he went and hugged his grandmother
around the neck. Then he buried his head in her lap, without saying a word. He felt
sad and dejected, deeply hurt.
