A new reading group in Nazareth meets on Wednesday from two to three in the library. There are twelve places, and the teacher asks pupils to use invented names on a classroom practice form. Hala usually brings her notebook, but today she is helping prepare the room. She puts a few books on a shelf and some water on a table. A new pupil cannot hear the meeting place clearly. Hala repeats it slowly and asks the pupil to tell her the place again. This helps both of them check the message.
