P
resident Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo invited 400 orphans to a fast breaking gathering at the State Palace on Thursday and he used the occasion to present bicycles to ten selected orphans.
The President presented the bicycles to the orphans who correctly answered one of his ten questions.
The questions asked were related to the prophet, angles, Islamic teaching and the Koran.
The last question posed by the President asked what his own name was, and six-year-old toddler Eza stood and raised his hand.
After giving the right answer, the boy went to look for his bicycle. But before he had moved far, the President jokingly inquired, 'Where are you going?'
Upon hearing the President's query, Eza returned to his seat.
'You don't want your bicycle?' asked the President. Eza then came to the front to receive his present.
The crowd of orphans enjoyed the President's joking about, kompas.com reported on Thursday. (rms)(++++)
