Sisters!
Do you remember this great face and the fantastic girl... I commented on her at the very beginning?
She is an elder sister to this little one. The elder sister in Egypt,in the middle and working classes, gets the title "ABLLA"; it is the same title kids call their woman teacher!
The elder sister is important in the family: she plays the role of the mother even when the mother is alive, and when the father dies, she takes responsibility for her younger brothers and sisters.
Elder sisters even as young as this one takes her younger sister with her, holding her hand, protecting, even punishing her… she is responsible for her from such an early age!
