It was the first day back at school in Birmingham, England.
The teacher began calling out the names of the pupils.
"Mustafa al Eih Zeri?" - "Here."
"Achmed El Kabul?" - "Here."
"Fatima Bin Pardin? " - "Here."
"Ali Abdul Olmi?" - "Here."
"Mohammed Bin Kadir?" - "Here."
"Ali Son al En?" - Silence in the classroom.
"Ali Son al En?"- Continued silence, as everyone
looked around the room .
The teacher repeated the call, "Ali Son al En?"
Then a girl stood up and said,
"Sorry, teacher, I think that's me.
It's pronounced Allison Allen."
