Kielburger reacts at the Iqbal's mother's eyes when he realized that she is about to burst into tears remembering her son. At that moment, he reflects and decides to ask a different question. Maybe his purpose is to make the readers reflect also upon this situation that carries children as their main protagonists, and though, it portrays all the sorrow and sadness of their parents and families in general.
