#078 A Frenchman In England

 A Frenchman was travelling in England. He could speak English quite well, but his vocabulary was not good. One day he was dining in a hotel and wanted to order two boiled eggs. But he didn’t remember the word ‘egg’ in English. Just then he saw a cock out of the window.

“What do you call that bird?” he asked the waiter.

“I call it a cock,” answered the waiter.

“What do you call the wife of cock?” he asked

“I call it a hen.” The waiter answered.

“What do you call the hen's children?” he asked

“I call them chicks.” The waiter told him

“What do you call the chicks before they are born?” the Frenchman asked the waiter again.

“I call them eggs,” said the waiter

“That’s the word I am looking for!” said the Frenchman. “Please bring me two boiled eggs.”

#075 The Rich Old Lady

There was once a very rich old lady whose husband had died and whose children had married and gone to live abroad. She was too old to live alone so she moved to an expensive hotel near the sea.

This lady had a pair of nasty, ugly dogs which liked to bark at everybody. She loved them very much although nobody did. They lived in the hotel with her and went wherever she did.

One day there was a new waiter come to work in that hotel. He helped the old lady to carry her blankets and her pillows. He helped her to get in or get out from the car. And even he pretended that he loved the lady’s dogs very much. He offered to look after them in his free time. He fed them, cleaned them and took them for a walk.

The young waiter was sure that when the rich old lady died she would leave him a lot of money to pay him everything that he had done for her. However when she died a few years later he discovered that the lady left him only two things, the things which she loved most in the world and which she thought that the young waiter loved too-her dogs.

#072 Story Of Abunawas : The King Who Became A Farmer

For weeks Abunawasnawas did not have money. He needed money to buy food. So, he went to another village to find work. Here and there he went, knocking at every door. But still no­body wanted to hire him. He was very tired and rested under a shady tree. He was soon asleep.

Suddenly two strong hands grabbed his arms and a strong voice said, "Hey get up you lazy man!"

The two strong hands pulled Abunawas to wake him up. "You must help us in our farm,” said another voice.

Before Abunawas could say a word the two strong men had already dragged Abunawas off to their farm. They walked for some time before arrived in a large farm. They brought Abunawasnawas to a big strong man with an earring at one of his ear.

"You'll work here until noon tomorrow. We'll give you a little food and drink. If you work slowly or lazily we'll give you a whip on your back."

Abunawas worked hard and felt very tired. He suddenly got a good idea. He approached the strong man with an earring. "Sir," said Abunawas.

"What?"

"You see that I am a small man. I can't work fast. If I give you a very strong man who can work three times harder and faster than me, will you let me go?"

The strong man seemed to be the owner of the farm was interested in Abunawas's offer. He agreed to let Abunawas go home.

"Remember, if you cheat me, you'll have to work here the whole day without any food or drink."

"No, I won't cheat you," said Abunawas. "Tomorrow, at noon, you'll find a man right under the tree where you picked me up this morning.  He'll be yours."

Abunawas then went home and appeared before the king right away.

'What brings you here, Abunawas"

"Your Majesty, yesterday I went to our neighbouring village and enjoyed very beautiful music. If you are in interested, I can take you there and you can enjoy it yourself. But, there is one condition."

"What is it, Abunawas?" asked the king who was so interested in music.

“You have to dress like farmers."

"No, problem," said the king.

The following day, at about noon, Abunawas and the king came to the shady tree.

"I don't hear anything, Abunawas,"

"Just be patient, Your Majesty. It was at noon when I heard the music. So, let's wait for a couple of minutes."

The breeze blew gently on their face. The king became sleepy and finally fell asleep. At that moment Abunawas walked away quietly.

Before long there came two farmers approaching the sleep­ing king. They dragged the king to their master. Of course they did not know that they were dragging their king, King Aaron El Roshid, for he wore farmer clothes. The master said the same thing he said to Abunawas the day before.

The king worked hard and fast because he did not want to get a whip on his back. He was very angry to both Abunawas and those savage people. But he could not do anything at that time.

The following day they let the king off exactly at noon. The king went back to the palace right away and ordered the guard to bring Abunawas before him. When Abunawas was in front of the king, the king said angrily, "How dare you do that to me! I'll punish you!"

“Wait a second, Your Majesty!" said Abunawas calmly.

"Please forgive me, but if I had not let you know by yourself everything that happened there, you would not believe me. Now that you have seen and experienced everything yourself, at least you now know that not all your people are good people. Some are savage and cruel like those farmers in the neighbouring vil­lage."

The king nodded slowly and then smiled.

"You're right, Abunawas!"
