Chapter 11-13

When Parvana comes home after digging bones she feels so guilty, that she tells her mom. Her mom is very upset, but realizes it is the best thing for right now. After two weeks of bone digging Shauzia and Parvana have enough money to buy things to sell.

One day while they were walking around Kabul selling things, they saw a big crowd going into a stadium for a game. They both realized that the stadium would be great business. When they walked in to the stadium they realized that it wasn't a game, but an execution of prisoners. This really upset the girls especially Parvana. Her father was taken away as a prisoner, which made her wonder if she should be worrying about her father. Parvana decided to stay home for a couple days to think about this. When Parvana goes back to work, Shauzia tells her plan about leaving to go to France to get away from her family. This surprises Parvana, but not as much as the news that she gets when she comes home.
