That is the correct output for a script which is being interpreted by 
a.sh, when a.sh prints "It's a.sh" using /bin/sh as its interpreter.  
Remember, you didn't ask /bin/sh to interpret b.sh, you asked a.sh to do 
it, and a.sh is a simple echo statement, not an interpreter.  There is 
no error here.
