Bilal and his sister, Rahima is throwing soil at each other. Meanwhile, the peddler enters into the lane and children welcome him. The peddler prevents them from throwing dirt at each other and says that throwing dirt is harmful to their health.

Rahima asks about the harm of throwing soil. The peddler brings out the magic mirror from his bag.

Bilal and Rahima see a child was crying in the hospital and he had put his hands on his eyes. The doctor says to the child’s father and his son’s one eyes in injured with sand and it would take time to recover.

The peddler puts the mirror back in the bag.

Rahima asks about the cause of injury of the boy. The peddler replies that the boy was playing with his sister and they were throwing soil at each other. Sands had entered into his eyes and the doctor said that his one eye would be treated soon but his other eye needs to be surgical operation.

Bilal and Rahima promise that they would not play with the soil afterward.

The peddler says that playing with soil could also cause some diseases due to having microbes and then the peddler goes to the next lane.

Second Lane:

Sediqa tells a joke to her brother, Khaibar and Khaibar loughs. Peddler comes and after greeting, he asks about the cause of Khaibar’s laughter.

Khaibar replies that Sediqa told him a joke. The peddler wants Sediqa to tell the joke to him too.

Sediqa tells the following joke, “A teacher asked a student that why he has come with dirty hands to school. The student replies that he doesn’t have more hands at home.”

The peddler likes the joke. Khaibar puts his hands in his coat pockets and says to the peddler that the weather is cold.

Peddler tells that cold weather caused him to remember a puzzle and then he tells the following puzzle and wants the children to find the correct answer, “It’s crying but doesn’t have eyes, and it's flying but doesn’t have wings.”

Children find some answers but the peddler doesn’t accept. Finally, Sediqa finds the correct answer which is cloud.

Peddler gives each of them a plastic ball and then he goes to the last lane.
