He tells him a story about a soldier named Joe. He says when the call of joining army came, many people came from different professions. Joe used to think that the training with a gas mask was a joke. Soldiers were tested in a gas chamber but Joe did not learn from that experience. They were sent to the front as advance patrol. Soldiers passed through a chemical contaminated area. The general of patrol had given maps of contaminated area to soldiers. Joe did not pay much attention to this information.
