Amir retraces his earlier missteps by repeating an act
which he had done more than a quarter of a century before. One of Amir's greatest sins
had been the false accusation of Hassan for stealing his birthday money and watch. Amir
had planted the items under Hassan's mattress where they would be found. His hope was
for Baba to punish Hassan; instead, Baba forgave him. Amir repeats this act again, this
time leaving money under Farid's mattress--a conscious decision that will both help the
poor Afghani family and ease Amir's own conscience.
