Once upon a time there was a poor but very brave man called Ali.
He worked for Ammar, a rich old merchant.
One winter’s night Ammar said:
“nobody can spend a night like this on top of the mountain without a blanket or food.
But you need money, and if you can manage to do that you will receive a great reward
If you don’t, you will work for thirty days without pay”.
Ali answered: “tomorrow I shall do this test”.
But when he left the shop, he saw that a really icy wind was blowing and became scared, so he decided to ask his best friend, Aydi, if it was crazy of him to accept that bet.
After reflecting a while, Aydi answered:
“I shall help you
Tomorrow, when you are at the top of the mountain, look ahead.
I will be on the top of the mountain next to yours, where I will spend the whole night with a bonfire lit for you.
You look at the fire and think about our friendship – that will keep you warm
You will manage, and later on I shall ask you something in return.”
Ali won the test, got the money, and went to his friend’s house:
“You told me you wanted some payment.”
Aydi answered: “Yes, but it isn’t money
Promise that if at any time a cold wind passes through my life, you will light the fire of friendship for me.”
--A blonde had just gotten a new sports car--
A blonde had just gotten a new sports car and was out for a drive when she cut off a truck driver.
He motioned for her to pull over.
When she did, he got out of his truck and pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket.
He drew a circle on the road and told the blonde to stand in the circle and not move.
He then went to her car and cut up her leather seats.
When he turned around she had a slight grin on her face, so he said, “Oh, you think that’s funny? Watch this.”
He gets a baseball bat out of his truck and breaks every window in her car.
When he turns and looks at her she has a smile on her face.
He is getting really mad.
He gets his knife back out and slices all her tires.
Now she’s laughing.
The truck driver is really starting to lose it.
He goes back to his truck and gets a can of gas, pours it on her car and sets it on fire.
He turns around and she is laughing so hard she is about to fall down.
“What’s so funny?”
The truck driver asked the blonde.
She replied, “When you weren’t looking, I stepped outside the circle 4 times.”
