1-DAY WAIT

When we both woke up next morning it was dawn. It is a great thing of mine that even if I sleep an hour before dawn I still wake up at dawn. I told Salaam what I figured out. He got impressed with my hard work and the firm resolution to never give up. Salaam said "listen. How about we go at night or tomorrow. Because we haven't even gone to work yesterday in the search for map. If we will go to work just then only we will be able to get something to fulfil the needs of house. Where you have waited this much just wait for one more day. Ok?" I became quiet because he was right. "ok." I replied. Soon aunt knocked the door and we opened it. Aunt said "kids. Breakfast is ready and one more thing. Have you brought something for today's meal because there is nothing in the kitchen you could have brought yesterday." I replied quickly "aunt actually the manager of Salaam's café was sick so he didn't come to the café and the crisps I sold brought me very less money. The things we brought are just sugar and some rice." She smiled and said "no problem. I have stored some dinner of yesterday so we will try to work with that. Ok? Come on now." We both departed the room and went to have breakfast. Then I became in disguise in the turban, just as I did before and went to market with Salaam. He went to his café and I stayed in disguise selling crisps. Around 12 pm a man came by and said "give me a pack of crisps." I gave him a pack of crisps. He tasted it standing over there and asked "listen man. Where is the man and the boy who sold crisps here? These crisps are just of the same taste." I replied "the man, he is in prison and the boy he died. I'm the brother of the boy's mom. There was nothing to eat for her so I am helping her." He nodded and went away. My heart was beating hard while that man was standing in front of my asking the question. I was having the thought "has he recognized me? Is he going to tell the king?" but soon Salaam came and I calmed down. I told him what happened. He patted me on the back and said "great work. Now scroll over I have got an off from café. Let me help you with selling the crisps." I asked him that what is the best option; night time or day time? He said "night time is the best. Guards will be a kind of asleep and I have got something interesting." He showed me a paper on which there was the secret formula of a drug which made people unconscious. "it will come in handy "I said. Salaam went somewhere in the market without telling me where he is going. After an hour when I started packing to go home he came with a shopping bag. He showed me what was in the bag. It contained some funny balloons type things and some handkerchiefs. "Let's go now," he said.
