Yusuf was in the army now, but life wasn’t easier. Every day
he made sure that the soldiers and their horses had good food to
eat. He counted weapons and made sure that they were strong
and clean. He paid soldiers and kept the army’s money safe.
He found answers to all kinds of problems from morning until
night, but sometimes he felt sad because he never knew if his
uncle was happy with his hard work. There was no fighting for
Yusuf, but sometimes Nuradin asked him to play polo and on
Aneed’s back he forgot his troubles.
