He always kept himself updated with the latest and firmly believed that he knew everything, but his parents' faces always reflected sadness to Rayan's behavior. "I want to ride a motorcycle! My friend Hans came to school today on his new motorbike that his father gave him on his birthday. I want a bike too!" Rayyan put forward his demand abruptly. Rayyan appeared quite stubborn to get a motorcycle at any condition. Rayyan's demand troubled his mother the whole night and she decided to have a calm discussion with him about the matter the next day.
