Many characters are introduced, as Amir, Baba, Rahim Khan (who calls by phone to invite Amir to Pakistan) and Ali. After the phone call, Amir went for a walk by the park to think about his life. Memories from 1975: Something changed in those days.
The Narrator (Amir) explains his childhood with Hassan. Amir was Pashtun, while Hassan was Hazara. They both lost their mothers and their fathers were Baba and Ali. Ali married with Sanaubar to restore his uncle's honor. Hassan (whose mother run away when he was borned) lived in a small house with his father, near Baba's Mansion. He used to play with Amir and they had a strong relationship, as they were fed by the same breasts. They once met a soldier who said he had a relation with Hassan's mother
Baba built an Orphanage. Against the popular beliefs against his idea, Baba was succesful. Baba was supposed to become a lawyer as is father, but he decided to be a businessman and became one of the richest merchants in Kabul.
Amir had a Islam teacher at the school. Baba thought that teachers weren't good, and he talked to Amir about sins. He believed that all sins were variations from theft. (Amir knew Baba's father was killed by a murder).
Baba felt his son was not like him. Amir tried to enjoy football, but he prefered to read poems. Amir listens Baba talking to Rahim Khan about him.
Amir explains the relation between Baba and Ali. They had a similar childhood to Amir and Hassan, because Ali's parents died when they were crashed by a car and Baba's father, a famous lawyer, decided to adopt him. Amir also goes deeper referring to his relationship with Hassan and the differences they had, specially in terms of education. Amir used to read stories for Hassan in a tree in the cemetery. Once, he started creating a random story and Hassan, that thought Amir was reading, said it was the best story he had ever heard. Motivated by this, Amir wrote a story about a man who cried pearls, which was only read by Rahim Khan, as Baba didn't show interest in it. When Amir was going to read it to Hassan, something happened. Along this chapter, we can appreciate that Amir has a special rivalry with his friend Hassan, as he always wants to be better than him. For example, he laughed at Hassan because he didn't know some words to show he was "better".
Suddenly, they heard like a thunder outside. There was a coup and a new republic was established, along with a president. Amir and Hassan went out to read at the tree, when they met Assef, who was famous for his steel knuckles. He talked about Hitler, how he hated the Hazaras and his relation with the new president. Assef blamed Amir for treating the hazara as his friend. Amir and Hassan managed to escape from the knuckles thanks to Hassan's slingshot.
Time later, Hassan received his birthday gift from Baba: Dr Kumar, a surgeon. Amir got his harelip fixed.
