AMNQ # 1

""We may be one of the poorest countries in the world," she told Abba. "But we are the richest in brains.""
-Aisha on page 3

This phrase really stuck out to me because it seems very true. A lot of extremely smart people come from Bangladesh. Also I thought the phrase was cool because (according to Aisha) people in Bangladesh have a lot of smarts but not as much material wealth which I thought was strange because normally people who are very smart can get jobs that give a lot of money which is what confused me a little about this quote. I thought the quote was witty too because Aisha made it up on the spot and to make up something like that would take most people a ton of time but Aisha is pretty much a genius so she could do that kind of thing.
