Question

What were Mimi's fellings when she first saw the kabuliwalah?

Answer 1

When we first meet Mini, she is five years old, an energetic, lovable, and garrulous (talkative) little girl. She manages to win the heart of the kabuliwala, Rahmun, who is a fruit-seller from Kabul. Mini overcomes her initial shyness with Rahmun's generous friendship offering of nuts and almonds. The two become great friends, sharing jokes and engaging in what Mini's father terms as fascinating conversation: Rahmun manages to honor Mini's little girl innocence by engaging in entertaining humor both of them can enjoy from either a grown-up or a childish perspective.
