What do you wish to be?

There was an assignment given by a third grade teacher to her kids in an Elementary School.


They all had to write about one subject which was: “What do you wish to be?”


The teacher collected all of her students’ assignments and took them home to read and mark them.



When she started reading and marking, one assignment engaged her attention and made her cry.



Her husband walked in and saw her crying and asked for the reason.


She said: “Read this essay please. ”



Her husband started reading the essay loudly:


“Today I would like to wish in a very different way. I know it may seem strange to you but I wish I was a TV. Because everyone likes TV and they gather around it. They pay attention to the TV and listen carefully to hear it well. Everyone stays quiet to catch what the TV is saying. My father has time to listen to the TV even when he is tired. My mother can pay attention to the TV even when she doesn’t like to do anything else. If I was a TV, they would take me seriously. I would have a special place and be center of attention. I know my wish doesn’t make sense and looks weird and unusual, but this is what I wish I was .”


Her husband continued: “What an awful parents this poor kid has. Who is she?”


The teacher wiped her tears and said: “OUR DAUGHTER”

Born with no tail by Laleh Chini.

A long time ago, on the way to a small town, a donkey was stuck in a hole and the owner was trying hard to rescue his donkey.



A passer saw the situation and came to help.



The passer held the donkey’s tail and tried to pull hard to help the donkey come out of the hole but instead, he ripped the tail off. The owner started to yell. The passer ran away and the owner ran after him.


The passer ran into a dead end, so he entered a house without permission.



There was a pregnant woman in the house and got very scared which made her lose her fetus, so her husband started to run after the passer along with the donkey’s owner.


The passer was running fast and jumped over a wall and fell on a sick man who was there with his son and killed the sick man.


 


The son of the sick man ran after the passer along with the donkey’s owner and the pregnant woman’s husband.


On the way, a pedestrian was passing with a shepherd’s cane when the passer accidentally hit him. The cane broke and went into the pedestrian’s eye, causing it to go blind. The pedestrian as well as the others, ran after the passer.


The passer had no choice but to run to the town’s only judge.



When he entered the judge’s house without authorization, he found out the judge was with somebody’s wife and was having an affair.


After a few moments, all four complainants walked into the judge’s house and started shouting and complaining about the passer.


The judge knew in order to keep the affair secret; he had to vote against the complainants.


The pedestrian started explaining his story and asked for justice. The judge said: “how can I be sure that you didn’t hit the passer. You have to bring four eye witnesses, and if you don’t have any, you should pay a 30 coins fine for wasting a judge’s time .” The poor pedestrian paid 30 coins and left.


The son of the sick man was called and he told his story. The judge said: “The equal punishment would be for you to jump on the passer’s father just once. If his father was as sick as your father, he will die. But because the passer doesn’t have a sick father, you have to pay 30 coins as well for wasting my time. ” The son paid the fine and walked away sad and disappointed.




The husband of the pregnant woman explained what had happened and he was sad because this was their fourth loss as they had been trying to have a child.


The judge said: “you lost three babies already, why should I blame the fourth one on the passer? Pay 30 coins for wasting my time. ”


The donkey’s owner got up to leave without complaining. The judge said: “It is your turn. Why are you leaving .”


The donkey owner replied: “Your honour, my donkey was born with no tail.”

Deceived by Laleh Chini.


A hungry fox was passing by a village when he saw a rooster. Eager to relieve his hunger, the fox tried to find a way to hunt the rooster.


The fox told the rooster: “Hello friend, I knew your father, he had a great voice. How about you? Are you a good singer?”


The rooster replied: “Of course I am. In fact, I sing better than my father,” and closed his eyes to sing.


The fox’s plan worked well, it was the perfect opportunity for him to hunt the credulous rooster.  The fox jumped and grabbed the rooster with his teeth.


The rooster regretted how easy he was deceived and started to crow.


The village’s dogs heard the rooster’s crow and ran toward the fox.


The rooster told the fox: “In order to stop the dogs to follow you, you should shout and tell them, ‘This rooster doesn’t belong to your village, I got it from another village.


The fox believed that to be a great idea and opened his mouth to shout without hesitation, setting the rooster free.


The fox realized how he was tricked by the rooster and said: “Curse on the mouth that opens untimely. ''


The rooster responded: “And curse to the eyes that close untimely.”
