The next day at school, Maria approaches Aisha and tells her that even herself had stopped asking questions in class because her classmates tend to joke around instead of helping. Aisha felt comforted and supported by Maria’s solidarity. In class, the teacher asked the students about their lack of cooperation with their new classmate. In response, the students just laughed and said that there was no need to explain because the question was obvious. The teacher then explained that despite the difficulty of the language, cooperation is very important.
