Jo wonder how relevant chemistry was to the boys.

There were no windows in Mukap’s hut.
The tin can was standing upside down on the grill.
Because they were frightened; they had never seen anything like this before.
Because most of them would
live all their lives as farmers.
It was her way to welcome visitors to the village and she drew everyone’s attention to
their arrival.
Perhaps it’s because that was a man’s house.
The tin can was used to dry out the leftover food, which might attract evil spirits, so the tin can was thrown out of the hut.

Discussion Living in a village
Every one would know each other
The village might be cut off from the outside world and might not have roads to and from it.
The village does not have to rely on outside sources for food
The village might not have a school so students might have to walk a long way to the closest school.
People can live without many possessions
There might not be any medical services nearby.
Discussion: Would you like to work as a
volunteer in a poor area
I think I will be a volunteer in a poor area.
Whenever I saw the poor living state of the
poor in the western areas and mountainous
areas, I was eager to do something for them.
All men are created equal. But they can’t get
what we can enjoy. What a pity! If possible,
I will try to help.
