An Empty Head
Mohamed: Hi! I want you to go to the souk to bring me some meat.
Ahmed: Yes Dad, of course. I’m your son and I have to do all the things that you need, just
give me some money.
Mohamed: Yes, here you go!
Ahmed was on the road thinking about what he was going to buy his father. He was at the souk. He asked the butcher,” Can you sell that beautiful cooking head to me?”
He said, “Yes!”
Ahmed started home on the road with the head and he became so hungry. He wanted to eat the head, but he was afraid of his father. He started to plan. (thinking to himself…what can I do, I’m so hungry.)
Finally, he found a good solution which was that he started to eat, so imagine what he ate?
Ahmed came to his father wit his strange head. His father asked him, «What’s this strange head?”
Ahmed: “I bought it like that.”
Mohamed: “Where are the eyes?”
Ahmed: “It was blind.”
Mohamed: “Where are the ears?”
Ahmed: “It was deaf.”
Mohamed: “Where is its tongue?”
Ahmed: “It was mute.”
Mohamed: “Where is its brain?”
Ahmed: “It was dumb.”
Ahmed ate all of these things and his father didn’t know.
