Keep it on your phone βPolly and Fatima walk. They walk in Marrakech. The city is big. The city is busy. Lights move in wind. Shadows dance on ground. Polly says, "Say 'Shukran' in Arabic." Fatima says, "Shukran." They turn a corner. They hear music. An old man plays. He plays a lute. Fatima listens to music. Polly sits on Fatima. The man smiles at them. Polly asks, "What is this?" The man says, "This is Morocco." Polly tells Fatima. Fatima listens to Polly. The man tells stories. Polly learns new words. Fatima learns new words. They like the music. They leave the man. They walk again. They feel happy. They want more adventures.
