Sam and the Tiger
- The war is over. Saleem and Shaheed are walking around in Dacca. They see even more war atrocities.
- Saleem goes looking for a safe place, and finds it in a tea shop. Shaheed is still outside, though, and he gets hit by a bomb that blows off his legs. Saleem takes him up into the minaret and holds him until he dies.
- We told you it was going to be sad.
- Then the Indian Army comes into Dacca with a triumphant parade. That's when Parvati-the-witch sees Saleem, and reminds him of his name. Yay!
- She hides him in her basket of invisibility, where he almost dies. She lets him out just in time for him to be okay.
- While he's in the basket, Saleem realizes something. He's angry. People have treated him badly his whole life, and it's not fair. Now it's his turn to choose his destiny.
