Rayhan, tall, huge creature with disheveled hair and big feet, passed by a child, a teacher, a painter, and a bread seller. How do they behave and what did they do? Did they see Rayhan
as strange? What about the old man? And what did he do when he saw Rayhan?


Values implied in story:

1. Not judging external appearances: Outward appearance does not determine the value of a person or being.
2. Accepting and tolerating differences, no matter how different they may seem.
3. The importance of empathy and compassion for others, especially those who are different or in need of help.
5. Tenderness and love that transcend appearances and reach the essence and soul.
