Lina comments, “Four feet, two sandals.” Lina and Feroza soon become close friends. The two girls meet the next day at the stream and after some initial tension over the sandals, Lina suggests they share them, each wearing them on alternate days. Feroza sees Lina, turns, and leaves with her one sandal. She finds the matching sandal on the foot of another young girl, Feroza. She slips it on her foot, the first shoes she’s worn in two years, while she looks for the other one. When workers bring clothing to the camp, Lina manages to grab a new yellow sandal with a blue flower. Ten-year-old Lina and her mother live in a refugee camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border while they wait for the opportunity to immigrate to America.
