Lalo Mama asks Suleiman about his sadness. Suleiman replies that he has taken part in a gathering of some elders of his village with his father.

Suleiman adds that a man asked him a question but he was not able to reply to him and he became very sad. Lalo Mama asks the reason. Suleiman says that the question was not in his school books.

Lalo Mama says that many youngsters face such issues. Then he turns on his mobile phone.

Rafiullah, a resident of Maidan-Wardak province says, “I do not study any book without my school books and I do not have extra information. When someone asks me about something which is not in my school books, I could not reply to him/her and it embarrasses me.”
