Hassan due to his willing to get Baba’s respect and recognition. Amir’s effort to send Hassan out from his home reveals by putting some
cash and his watch under Hassan’s mattress when Hassan and Ali was going out to the bazaar. After putting the money and watch, Hassan went to see Baba and
said that he lost his moneys and watch. This kind of trick, Amir did to make the situation as if Hassan stole his money and watch.

The explanation above is based on the data number 27 below: Then I took a couple of the envelopes of cash from the
pile of gifts and my watch,... I went to downstairs, crossed the yard, and entered Ali and Hassan’s living... I lifted
Hassan’s mattress and planted my new watch and a handful of Afghani bills under it.
