Then came their goat herder. He was startled to see me and pointed his rifle at me. He seemed relieved to hear that and lowered his rifle. Every time I have seen that man since, he has said that he almost shot and killed me that night. He had 200 goats.
Afghans often come across the mountain tops and kill the goat herder and steal the goats.
He thought I was from Afghanistan and he wanted to shoot me before I shot him. The goat herder took me down to his camp. I called for Abdul Khaliq and he came back up and joined us. We spent the night with the goat herder. He had a partner.
