Day four
No explosion could be smelled or heard. Maybe it was a silent landmine. I ordered Bibi not to move on the landmine. Bibi slid her foot off the metal plate and i slid my foot on. However, she was terrified. If she did not slid her foot away, she would die and the government will know she had been playing football, getting our parents into trouble. After that, Bibi did not want to leave me and she came charging at me, hugging me. Out of the blue i lost my balance and i felt that the landmine is going to explode. Fortunately, it did not blown off.

Day Five
We hate this country. We knew that Manchester United would not have any landmines. We seemed to upset Yusuf a little as we said that we were more fortunate than some people as we got a house with a roof. Suddenly, Mr Nasser, the angriest man in our street, grabbed the soccer ball. I was shocked. He thought that we had broken his window and he was so furious that he wanted to report to the police. My father came and told that he would be responsible for ' our actions'. My father dragged us into his taxi and we were supposed to write an apology letter by tonight. I hoped that Dad was not angry, When he was not really angry, he would give us a wink to let use know but he wasn't winking...
