I dropped next to him, lay on a thin patch of snow, wheezing(喘气). “You’re wasting our time. It was going the other way, didn’t you see?” Hassan popped(取出) a mulberry(桑葚) in his mouth. “It’s coming,” he said. I could hardly breathe and he didn’t even sound tired. “How do you know?” I said. “I know.” “How can you know?” He turned to me. A few sweat beads(汗滴) rolled from his bald(光秃的)

scalp(头皮). “Would I ever lie to you, Amir agha?”Suddenly I decided to toy with him a little. “I don’t know. Would you?”

“I’d sooner eat dirt,” he said with a look of indignation(愤怒).“Really? You’d do that?” He threw me a puzzled look. “Do what?”

“Eat dirt if I told you to,” I said. I knew I was being cruel, like when I’dtaunt(嘲弄) him if he didn’t know some big word. But there was something fascinating--albeit(虽然) in a sick way--about teasing Hassan.

Kind of like when we used to play insect torture(折磨). Except now, hewas the ant and I was holding the magnifying glass(放大镜).

His eyes searched my face for a long time. We sat there, two boys under a

sour cherry tree, suddenly looking, really looking, at each other. That’swhen it happened again: Hassan’s face changed. Maybe not _changed_, not really, but suddenly I had the feeling I was looking at two faces, the

one I knew, the one that was my first memory, and another, a second face,this one lurking(潜藏) just beneath the surface. I’d seen it happen before--it always shook me up a little.It just appeared, this other face, for a

fraction of(一小部分) a moment, long enough to leave me with theunsettling feeling that maybe I’d seen it someplace before.Then Hassan blinked and it was just him again. Just Hassan.

“If you asked, I would,” he finally said, looking right at me. I dropped my eyes. To this day, I find it hard to gaze(注视) directly at people like Hassan, people who mean every word they say. “But I wonder,” he added. “Would you ever ask me to do such a thing, Amir

agha?”And, just like that, he had thrown at me his own little test. If I was going to toy with him and challenge his loyalty(忠诚), then he’d toy with me, test

my integrity(正直).

I wished I hadn’t started this conversation. I forced a smile. “Don’t b

e

stupid,Hassan. You know I wouldn’t.”Hassan returned the smile. Except his didn’t look forced. “I know,” he said. And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They

think everyone else does too.

“Here it comes,” Hassan said, pointing to the sky. He rose to his feet and walked a few paces to his left. I looked up, saw the kite plummeting(直线 下降) toward us. I heard footfalls, shouts, an approaching melee(混战) of kite runners. But they were wasting their time. Because Hassan stood with his arms wide open, smiling,waiting for the kite. And may God--if He exists, that is-strike me blind if the kite didn’t just drop into his outstretched(伸开的) arms.
