• They lived in the shadow of the Hindu Kush mountains. The house had one floor, and a had a flat roof, were they played cricket
• Malala likes to sit on the roof and watch the mountains. The highest mountain of all had a pyramid shape. For her it was a sacred mountain, and it was so high that it always wears a clouds necklace. Even in summer it was frosted with snow.
• From the rooftop she watched the mountains change with the seasons. In autumn chill winds came, in winter everything was white snow, the roof had long icicles hanging like daggers, that her family loved to snap.
They used to race around, building snowmen and snow bears and trying to catch snowflakes.
