In a week

When I started to decipher the letters, my father bought

me a book called
How do you learn to pray in a week? I read the book.
The week passed.. and I did not learn to pray.
When I joined school, I fell in love with languages. I
collected a few
Dirhams and I bought a book called “How to Control Five
Languages in...
week.
I controlled myself. I gave up playing. I grew up on
My friends and I stuck to the book. The week went by and
I couldn't control myself
Languages. I went back to playing until they fired me.
. I collected more dirhams
When they fired me, I didn't get very angry
And I bought a book called How to Become a Millionaire
in a Week.”
I memorized the book. A week passed and I did not
become a millionaire.
One question kept choking me: What do they mean by the
week?
Do they have their week and we have ours? "
I asked my friend: Isn't there a book called "How to
Commit Suicide in...
week.
He laughed and said:
Suicide does not take a week.
Suicide takes a minute or two.
Suicide is courage, decision and execution.
I was encouraged and decided but I could not implement
it.
A minute passed. Two minutes passed and she announced
in joy and ecstasy:
- My week has become like theirs. Tomorrow I will learn
to pray
He became a millionaire and committed suicide within a
week.

My mother said: You should become a policeman.
My father said: Become whatever you want except a
policeman.
My grandmother said: Obedience to parents is obedience
to God.
I said: (Among the mistake and crowding, they brought
the judge to circumcise himself).
“You,” the policeman said, putting the handcuffs on my
hands
Someone who affects public security. What does the
judge have to do with it? Who said that the country
Is it mixed and crowded??

From her virgin poem to express his opinion about her, he
did not resist his lust. He said:

-I'm sure I'll like him.
-And me??
- It's enough for you to still like me.

Gloating
The lion was very hurt when he heard the Forest Council's ‫هجرة‬

- Everything is easy except the gloating of enemies.

As for his enemies, they said:

While those who were with him because he was riding
were with someone else ‫صغيرا في المدرسة االبتدائية كان يصنع الزورق والطائرة‬

gossip ‫الزورق ووجه الزورق باتجاه الضفة األخرى من البحر وصار‬
With a special request for forgiveness, he mentions it
immediately after the name of the person he is thinking
about ‫اعتصام‬

- So-and-so - May God allow us to mention him......
R. And, grill it and eat it once in a while ‫شمر الفالحون في البوادي عن سواعدهم استعدادا لحصد‬

It ends with a strong ba ‫ عن المالبس ذات األكمام تخلى‬.‫ وإقامة األعراس‬،‫المزروع‬

thought:

- Of course they are talking about me.
He hesitated before joining them, saying: ‫ لكن معلميهم كانوا‬،‫ ودرس التالميذ مزايا الفصول‬.‫وتساقطت‬

The poem eluded him. He had not written for more than ‫وعادت األودية إلى منابعها وتفتقت الرتوق وابيضت الجبال‬
two years. ‫ فمارس وأبريل‬.‫ وانتظر الناس الربيع لكنه لم يأت‬،‫بالثلوج‬
He felt afraid within himself:
