Further DetailsTitle: Circus Comes to the Village Condition: New Description: When fall arrives, the circus comes to Paghman village, one of the few pleasures for the villagers. Yamo and his friend Mirado are very excited. Yamo misses his brother, who has gone off to war. Mirado's father is also away at war. At the circus, the boys browse the vendors, ride the swings and enjoy the shows. Mirado plays his father's flute with the circus band and his music moves the people's hearts.
