Why, it's a "chechia" because in the desert it protects our heads
From the sun!

And what is this type of clothing that we are wearing?

It's a "djbellah" because in the desert it is very hot and it
Protects your body!

And what are these ugly shoes that we have on our feet?
These are "babouches", which keep us from burning our feet when in
The desert!

Tell me papa?

Yes my son?

Then, why are we wearing them in Dublin ???
