Handful of Dates.

The main character in the story is the narrator because he is describing an even that happened to him while he was a child. The forces that are at odds in the story is the grandfather and the man that owns land who's name is Masood. The narrator does not like his grandfather any more because of what he was doing to Masood. The word I chose that I didn't know what the meaning was is: date which means A sweet, dark brown, oval fruit containing a hard stone, often eaten dried.
