The Two Foreigner

That is because they did not know what is an encylopedia, or an Arabic dictionary. He was sad to know that they have memoriezed the information in class without understanding the lesson. So, he decides to make the lesson into a fun game by teaching them how to find the origins of their names in the Arabic dictionary.
