Adem's Baba Embarrassed Him - World Stories

In the south of this island there is a city called London. In the south of this city there is a small village. And in this village there lives an eleven year old boy called Adem. No, no. His name is not Adam. Adem is a curious boy who loves reading. The young boy loves to talk about the things he reads in his Book of Records. Hey look! Adem's father is Turkish and his mother is English. Adem hears someone say 'Merhaba.' One day, when Adem was a little boy, he asked his Baba, 'Am I English or Turkish, or am I half of each? ' His Baba thought about this question for a moment, then answered, 'You are not half of anything, my son. Adem liked this answer very much. Sometime later, Adem got his face painted with an English flag while he was at the carnival. Adem gives a high five to Ben and Jonathan and then approaches us and walks beside us along the pavement.
