Jamal is the most sensible, trustworthy, resourceful and patient person I know. As the youngest child in his family, he must sometimes “wait for his turn,” or act as a “gopher.”
Jamal surprised me this time with his long curly hair. I hinted several times that he should get it cut, but to no avail. Jamal and Hafid are virtual twins, although they are two years apart. Whenever I write to either of them, I am really writing to both of them. And be cautioned, do not ever say that they do not look like brothers! (I learned my lesson well.) I noticed that during our travels, Jamal kept acquiring various objects, such as a money belt, jewelry, and a “Blue Man's veil.” It turns out that whenever I bought something, Jamal would ask the merchant for a gift. If you decide to travel with Jamal, you will be in very good hands! |
