The Cabuliwallah
The Cabuliwallah looked a little staggered at the apparition. He could not revive their old friendship.
But to me the wedding feast was all the brighter for the thought that in a distant land a long-lost father met again with his only child.
At first I did not recognise him. He had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. But he smiled, and I knew him again.
I forgot that he was a poor Cabuli fruit-seller, while I was—but no, what was I more than he? He also was a father.
