The one guilty man


The king asked to visit the palace prison. And he began listening to
the prisoners' complaints.
'I'm innocent,' said a man accused of murder.'I'm here simply because i wanted to give my wife a fright, but accidentally killed her.'
'I was accused of taking a bribe,' said another, 'but all i did was accept a gift.'
All the prisoners declared their innocence to the king, until one of them said :
' I'm guilty. I wounded my brother in a fight and i deserve to be punished. This place has made me reflect on the pain i caused.'
'Remove this criminal out of the prison immediatly!' cried the king. ' He'll end up corrupting all these innocent men.'



The art of listening


A wise man was walking with his freind when he saw a man trying to get his mule to move. When the animal refused to budge, the man began calling him the worst names he could think of.
' Dont be silly,' the wise man said. 'the mule will never learn your language. You would better calm down and learn his language.'
And as he walked away he remarked to his freind: ' Before you get into an arguemnt with a mule, remember the scene you have just witnessed.'




The slayer of dragons


A great fighter went searching for a teacher in order to learn the best way to slay dragons. When he found one, the teacher trained him for ten whole years, until he had honed to perfection the most sophisticated dragon-slaying techniques. He then spent the rest of his life looking for dragons in order to show off his skills: to his great disappointment, he never found a single dragon.



The beggar who makes the wrong choice


Everyday a beggar went to beg in the market, and people used to make fun of him by playing the following trick : they would show him tow coins, one worth ten times more than the other, and he would always whose to take the smaller coin. The story went round the whole province. Day after day, groups of men and women would show him the tow coins, and he would always chose the smaller one. Then one day, a good man, tired of seeing people making fun of him in this way, beckoned him over to a corner and said: ' when they offer you 2 coins, you should chose the larger one. That way you would earn more money, and people wouldn't consider you an idiot.'
'That sounds like good advice,' he replied, 'but if i chose the larger coin, people would stop offering me money, because they like to believe that they are more stupid than they are. You've no idea how much money i have earned using this trick. There's nothing wrong in looking like a fool if, in fact, you're being really clever.'



The child who cared most


In a school, there was a competition to find 'the child who cared most for others.'
The winner was a boy whose neighbor, a very old man over 80, had just been widowed. when he saw the old man sitting in his garden crying, the boy jumped over the fence, sat on the man's lap and stayed for a lonf time.
When he went back home, his mother asked him what he has said to the poor man.
'Nothing,' said the boy.' He's lost his wife and that must have really hurt. I just went over to help him cry

اهلاً وسهلاً بالأخت سماح في المنتدى وشكراً لك على القصص الطريفة.

ملك يعاقب المذنبين بأن يبعد عنهم المصلح وطفل يعين جاره على البكاء كي يخفف عنه وفي بلادنا يعاقبون الصالحين بأن يولوا عليهم المجرمين ويمنعوا الناس من التخفيف عن بعضهم البعض لان كل إنسان عنده مشاكل اكبر منه

That's because he was looking in all the wrong places!! Had he come to Lebanon, he would've found them all over the place. All he would've had to do was to watch one news cast on any of the local channels and they would've appeared, one after the other begging to be slayed and put out of their misery!!i

He should take care not to kill all of them. If they are extinct, he will lose his job again



In fact, at first i was thinking of adding this comment to my post



In our days
Our kings would never visit a prison because they know it's where they belong.
.Some people have learned mules' language very well that they forgot how to talk to humans.
The dragon slayer would have no problem, he can get dragons made for him, especially if he knows the president of the US.
The first principle in our economical system is : Never let people know you think they are fools, but never forget that they are.
Most people dont only help others cry, they actually make them cry.


I didnt want to add this because i didn't want to spoil the fun of the stories, but obviously bitterness is too abundant to ignore


And can anyone tell mz please how cantI put the points and exclamation marks in the right place ??!!!
