Malala describes an earthquake
on an autumn day at school.
She explains some of the
students were nervous even
though earthquakes happened
often in her region. But this
earthquake was different. This
earthquake was strong, so the
students were sent home. She
arrived home to see her mother
crying and reciting verses from
the Quran.

Malala explains that her
government and Americans
came to assist. Malala says
Mullahs from the
Tehrik-e-Sharia-e-Mohamma
di (TNSM), the Movement for
the Enforcement of Islamic
Law, said this was a "warning
from God", saying that if they
did not introduce Islamic Law,
more severe punishment was
on its way.

When Malala gets home from school
one day, a mufti has knocked on her
door, ranting about her father's school
not being on the straight path of Islam,
which seems to be everyone's
problem from the other children from
Malala's childhood to the mufti now,
when really, who are they to say what
is and isn't the "straight path of
Islam"? Malala recalls recurring
childhood drama with one of her
friends, which doesn't seem to be
uncommon with people everywhere,
every age.
