And when there was a need to write simple data on the bags, the "teacher" chose him because he was fluent in writing. he mentioned in the story that when he met his “teacher” in Damascus after many years, and he was accompanied by a friend who knew both of them, that friend said to the teacher: Hanna is a well-known writer today, and that simple man said: Yes, I know that. He has started writing for me, on the bags!.[3]
