" There are lots of Americans here." " The refugees are coming back to the city." " How did you find out?" " I saw it myself." " All the children are on the hill." " Why have they gone up there?" " When the Americans got here, they went to Esmaeel." " They took his dish and carried it to the hill." " The children are watching the prohibited channels with the American soldiers." " They are watching the prohibited channels?" " Where is Shirkooh?" " He's going to the city with his uncle." " Satellite, can we please go to the city?" " They say it is the end of the world."
