In Morocco, Mustafa’s father sells beautiful carpets “in all the colors of the world”
In Morocco, Mustafa’s father sells beautiful carpets “in all the colors of the world” . But when helping out and learning foreign languages grows tiresome, young Mustafa decides to saunter through the market and show off his own recently acquired carpet.
He meets the mint seller Yacine, admire baskets and foods for sale and befriend a lively rooster.
Through the bird and some friendly tourists, Mustafa learns how to crow in four languages (French, Spanish, English and Japanese) as well as his native Moroccan.
And his father is especially happy when the boy returns to the shop with his new carpet-buying friends.
