The narrator tells us that the war is just like the war in the Middle East: people are starving to death. Pull is also a part of the war, and the pull misses are also victims. The narrator asks the man to help her mother, who is asleep. The crows are making noise around her, and she cannot believe that the man would want to keep her costumes clean. She tells the man that she worked so hard as a slave in the harem for one day she can have an "exuberant life" . The man tells her that she deserves no respect, but she tells him that she has driven the crows away for her mother. The woman notices the wound on her shoulder, so she lets the girl wait while she goes to find medicine.
