Some wealthy villagers went straight into the store and stood beside two important people in the telephone company.

Like a priest at the Eucharist, he installed the telephone with great seriousness. ?

The poorer villagers stood outside and listened carefully to the details told to them.

Standing at the door, you can see the people who are not too poor inside.

After a while, the whole village gathered in front of Abu Raja's shop. In a small shop, two people from the telephone company look like very important people. Like the priests at the Eucharist, they are very serious about connecting the phone. Some wealthy villagers went straight to the shop and stood by to watch.

The poor villagers stood outside the shop and listened attentively to the details of those who were not too poor. Standing in the aisle, these villagers can see the situation in the shop.

"Bald people are cutting the blue thread," someone said.

"The bald man is cutting the blue thread," someone said.

"He is inserting the wire into the hole at the bottom of the black box," another person added.

"He is inserting the thread into the hole at the bottom of the black box." Someone added it again.

"The telephone operator with a moustache is connecting two wires. ?

Now he is screwing the two ends together, "interrupted a third voice.

"The bearded telephone operator is connecting two wires. Now he has twisted the two threads together. " Another person interjected.

Because I am very young, I meandered through the dense forest of legs and wanted to see this scene with my own eyes. ?

I held my breath and watched the man in blue assemble a black machine, which was said to make it possible to talk with my uncles.

Aunt and cousin who live two days away.

Because I was very young at that time, in order to see the whole process with my own eyes, I crossed the thick thighs of adults and witnessed the whole installation process. I held my breath and watched two people in blue assemble a black machine. With this thing, we can probably chat with uncles, aunts, menstruation and cousins. The place where they live takes more than two days to arrive.

Shortly after sunset, the man with a moustache announced that the telephone could be used. ?

He explained that all Abu Raja had to do was pick up the receiver.

Turn the crank on the black box several times and wait for the operator to answer his phone. ?
