"And when I yelled at Mama and you children, it wasn't because you were bad, but just that I've been feeling so bad." "Me too, Papa." "I think we understand each other, Ahmed, you and I." Ahmed felt warm and relaxed, safe in his father's arms. "So! No more bad temper then, not from me and not from you, eh?" "I love you, Papa." Jameela ran in, looking worried. "Oh Ahmed, I've been looking for you everywhere." She stopped, startled to see Ahmed on her father's lap. Her father put out one arm to enclose her too. Jameela giggled at the close father-Ahmed-Jameela hug. "Papa, I'm supposed to be washing him. Mama told me. Please, Ahmed." Ahmed couldn't imagine why he had made such a fuss with his sister before. He really enjoyed her washing him. Usually they played and she got wet too. Merza wanted to do something for his children. He remembered a wooden dancing man on a string he had had as a child. He had his tools with him, and he found a small piece of wood. He cut it to make the man's head, body and arms. There was just enough for one leg only. "Ah well," thought Merza. "We will have a one-legged dancing man." 74
