Every winter, districts in Kabul held a kite-fighting tournament. And if you were a boy living in Kabul, the day of tournament was undeniably the highlight of the cold season. Amir never slept the night before the tournament.
Amir gives the details of the tournament. The rules of the tournaments are very simple: they need to have a kite, they fight their kites versus Kabul's children, maintain the kite flying in the sky, cut the other kites and finally the last kite in the sky is the winner.
On the other hand, Amir explains how Hassan and he build their kites, they bought in the Bazaar the bamboo, glue, string and paper but sometimes Baba bought the kites with a shoe repairman, Saifo. He was also the city´s most famous kite maker but they prefer build their own kites.
Finally, Amir and Hassan relate the sensation that they had one previous day for the tournament. They describe this sensation such as a true battle, a war or a real fight.
