Ali at the Majlis

Ali is a smart and book-loving boy, though he is lucky to live in his grandfather's house, in a neighborhood full of relatives, family and friends. Ali's happiest times are during holidays and occasions as he accompanies his grandfather to the majlis—grown-ups assemblies— and listens to elders’ conversations.

The more he learns about ancestors’ life and custom details from his grandfather, the prouder he becomes of his country and heritage.
