In the clearing, Jalil and two of his children, Farhad and Muhsin, constructed the smallkolba where Mariam would experience the initial fifteen years of her life. They raised it with sun-dried blocks and put it with mud and modest bunches of straw. It had two resting bunks, a wooden table, two straight-sponsored seats, a window, and racks nailed to the dividers where Nana put mud pots and her darling Chinese tea set. Jalil put in another cast-press stove for the winter and stacked logs of slashed wood behind thekolba He included an oven outside for making bread and a chicken coop with a fence around it. He brought a couple of sheep, fabricated them a bolstering trough. He had Farhad and Muhsin burrow a profound opening a hundred yards outside the hover of willows and manufactured a latrine over it.
