Boy: I am very glad to meet you.
Girl: so am I.
Boy: What shall we talk about
today?
Girl: We shall talk about
whatever we agree upon.
Boy: What do you mind if we talk
about learning though we are
classmates?
Girl: Never mind. So, put
forward your point of view.
Boy: As you are fully aware our
class consists of many students
Boys and Girls. My question is:
who are cleverer boys and girls?
Girl: In my opinion, the girls are
cleverer than the boys.
Boy: What do you say that? In
which way are the girls cleverer
than the boys?
Girl: Because seeing is believing
and you see that the girls make
more efforts day after day, month
after month and year after year.
Boy: Don’t extol the girls. Tell
what the truth is, please.
Girl: My speech is true, because I
always see a lot of our girls
making conversation inside and
outside the school and that is the
reason I say the girls are cleverer
than the boys.
Boy: You are overlooking the
reality because girls cannot make
conversation inside and outside
the school. Even they are not

Girl: If the girls are not good at
spelling what about the boys?
Boy: The boys are good at
everything.
Girl: Brother of mine. “Tit for tar
is fair play”. Let us talk about a
hear-to-hear conversation instead
of wasting our golden
opportunity aimlessly.
Boy: If it’s so, let us have a good
conversation and speak of
everything in reality.
Lesson 98
A: Why are you standing ahead
of my face if you are not asking
me important questions?
B: I don’t want to waste my time
pointlessly, so speak to me gently
and perfectly.
A: I am speaking to you well, but
it is you the one who is shouting
and speaking aimlessly.
B: Ok. Put the past hind us. What
else do you have right now?
A: I have many topics. But I am
sure that you will run away from
your books and shoes if I put
forward them because I know
you are dull and barbarian.
B: Stop the insult. You know that
I am well-trained student who
can speak the language correctly

A: that is none of your business,

B: all in all, what have you
decided to speak of for the time
being?
A: I am ready for whatever is
selected; therefore show me or

A: still you are talking about
nothing there by is there anything
else you have in hand?

A: As we are aware the country is
in chaos. There is not political
stability and reliable security in
the country. The people are

repeated conflicts and hardships
in the country, and what’s more,
thousands of civilians are drying
throughout the country due to
droughts So, what is your
viewpoint about these problems?

B: Truly speaking, when we are
Somalis we don’t want to unite
and resume peace dialogues
among ourselves because the
people who are dying are Somali,
those who are fighting or have
weapons are Somali, and those
who are displacing are Somali,
therefore we have no reason to
blame anyone else because we are
slaughtering and killing our
fathers, mothers, brothers and
sisters with our hands.
A: You are absolutely wrong; can
you tell me a warlord and his
children being killed in fighting?
The answer is “NO”. The people
who are dying are only civilians,
not warlords and their children.
The self-appointed warlords sent
their children abroad
B: I don’t believe that idea. The
warlords are not only criminals
but all the Somalis are criminals
as well because the people or the
civilians are supporting the self-
appointed, obstinate leaders
physically, financially and
ideologically. So, we should have
patience or stop the strong
support we have for the warlords.
A: In conclusion, what would
you urge the Somalis?
B: I would say all of us are
responsible of the tragic
consequences of lawlessness, let
42

problems we caused ourselves.
