A boy returns home from school.

A boy returned home from school feeling disappointed after receiving a 0 on his geography exam.

He explained to his mother that he was marked down because he couldn't answer a question about Portugal's location.

His mother, upset by the situation, decided to take action by planning to contact the school's principal while also attempting to locate Portugal on several maps.

Despite searching on a state map, a regional map, and even a city map, they were unable to find Portugal's location.

Confident that Portugal couldn't be too far away, the mother recalled their maid, who commutes from Portugal daily on a bicycle.
