The Breadwinner, Chapter 2
How does the author give clues to a word's meaning ( e.g., how does " stretched out on a toshak " help a reader understand what a " toshak " is ) ?

In context, the author uses the words "stretched out on a toshak for a rest", which give clues to the fact the toshak is a kind of sleeping mat.
