Merza’s Anger Jameela and Ahmed were becoming afraid of their father. He had always been a kind and gentle man but since losing his leg in the landmine accident, he had been different. Now he had to use crutches and it bothered him that he could no longer work as he used to do. Since the family left their village and were in a displaced persons' camp, Merza, had nothing to do. He went to the makeshift mosque to pray or he sat at home, and very often he criticized their mother, Haleema, or themselves as they went about their chores in their small family space in the camp. When he shouted at Ahmed, the little boy felt it was all his fault, and that he really was a bad child. Little things could send their father into a rage. He shouted at them. He banged his crutch on the floor or on the table. It was very frightening. Ahmed could hear him yelling at their mother and banging. It made him feel terrible - angry, sad, worried, frightened, all mixed up together. He wanted to do something but there was nothing he could do. Jameela came to him. wash." "Come on, Ahmed, out to the wash-house. Mama told me I had to give you a "No. Go away," said Ahmed. "Hey, little brother, Mama says. So we have to. Come on. It won't take long." Ahmed yelled and kicked a trunk. "Go away, go away, go away, stupid sister!" He moved away from Jameela. She reached out to grab him. He hit her and ran away, out of the building. While she was searching for him outside, he slipped back in and hid behind some boxes in their family’s corner of the room. 71
