I would like to learn about Mali. 
 I 'd be happy to help with that. Mali is a country that is landlocked in West Africa. Can I interest you in some facts about the culture? 
 That would be great! 
 Mali is one of Africa's most lively intellectual centers even though its more famously known for music than literature. 
 Interesting! Can you tell me more about the culture? 
 At one time, Mali was known as the most politically and socially stable countries in all of Africa. 
 Great info! What can you tell me about the history there? 
 I would be happy to! In the late 19th century, Mali fell under control of France. 
 Can you tell me more about that? 
 On the 20th of June 1960, The Mali Federation ended up gaining its independence from France! 
 Can you tell me anything more about the culture there? 
 I can tell you that most of the people from Mali wear colorful, flowing robes that are called boubous. They are typical of West Africa. 
 Very cool fact! Before I let you go, can you tell me something that you find interesting about Mali? 
 We never touched based on geography and I find it interesting that the physical features of Mali include the Sahara Desert and Niger and Senegal River. 
 You've given me awesome information. Thank you for all your help! 
 You are very welcome! I hope you know more about Mali than when you started.
