Khaled Hosseini Quotes

Except That Wasn't All. The Real Fun Began When A Kite Was Cut. That Was Where The Kite Runners Came In, Those Kids Who Chased The Windblown Kite Drifting Through The Neighborhoods Until It Came Spiraling Down In A Field, Dropping In Someone's Yard, On A Tree Or A Rooftop. The Chase Got Pretty Fierce; Hordes Of Kite Runners Swarmed The Streets, Shoved Past Each Other Like Those People From Spain I'd Read About Once, The Ones Who Ran From The Bulls. One Year A Neighborhood Kid Climbed A Pine Tree For A Kite. A Branch Snapped Under His Weight And He Fell Thirty Feet. Broke His Back And Never Walked Again. But He Fell With The Kite Still In His Hands. And When A Kite Runner Has His Hands On A Kite, No One Could Take It From Him. That Wasn't A Rule. That Was A Custom.
