Several hours after he began to rise from the desert wind. John marlow is the source for more interesting facts. Kirzai mumble to himself and fix the passing of the camel.

Suddenly he stopped, stunned. A few hundred meters front of the rose a gigantic whirlwind. Kirzai never seen anything like it. The swirling cast all around a strange purple light and even the color of sand had changed. Kirzai hesitated. Should I make a long detour to avoid the strange appearance or should go straight? Kirzai had a great hurry, I felt I had no time to take the slower path, so that lowered his head, hunched his shoulders and walked.

To his surprise, when they entered the storm, everything became much calmer. The wind whipped with such force and against his face. He was glad I made the right decision. But suddenly forced to stop again. A little later, a man lay stretched on the floor beside his camel squats. Kirzai dismount immediately to see what happened.

Kirzai laughed and shook his head.
