When some people tell stories, it seems quite unbearable to follow the flow of events. This may be the case with many of my stories; however this one I think is quite different for it has nothing of boring in it. So Just Read and Enjoy The Language Easiness and simplicity. I'm sure everything will be a joke at the end. Try and you'll see.

THE MAGIC MELON

            Jillali got married and went to live in the big town, four hundred miles away from home, where he worked. He rented a very small house because he couldn't afford to rent a larger one. A year later, the young couple's families decided to pay them a visit. Although the house was not suitable enough to bear them all, Jillali and his wife couldn't hide their happiness for the visit. After a while, Jillali went out to buy some food for dinner. He went to the market and bought vegetables, some meat, bread, and a melon. As he was returning home, the man began to rub the melon unconsciously; all of a sudden, a huge Jenny springs from the melon and said,
      -"Master of the melon, ask for whatever you wish, I'm your slave and ready to serve you..!"
Jillali felt something like fright and happiness mixed together, and in deep astonishment he said as if he were Aladdin,
      -"I want a very large house right now!"
The Jenny looked down at him and shouted,
      -"What??!! A very large house!! Ha ha ha, if I could find one for myself I wouldn't live in a melon. So long!"

Reminder:
I am always glad to share the fantasy of being able to tell the others something quite funny. Actually it's hard to manage; Especially when the sharing is between two or more cultures.

THESE STORIES HAVE NO NATIONALITY EVERYONE IN THE WORLD CAN TELL THEM IN HIS OWN WAY. ONE HAS JUST TO USE LOCAL NAMES, LOCAL AMAZING SETTINGS AND THE WORK IS DONE. JUST TRY! WE ALL TRY TO TRY AND THAT'S FUN.

THE FLAG

      Jillali and Samir, two stupid young men, decided to enroll themselves in the army. Before being definitively accepted, the two should pass a test. Jillali was called to be tested the first. As he entered the test-room, the lieutenant showed him the flag and asked,
      -"What's that?"
Jillali quickly answered,
      -"That's the flag".
      -"No!" shouted the lieutenant angrily, "That's not a mere flag. That's your father, your mother, your brother and sister: That's all that you have to defend and to be killed for. Did you get it stupid?!"
      Completely undone, Jillali went out puzzled with what he had just heard. Samir, who was perplexed waiting outside, asked his friend,
      -"How was the test?".
Still in his confusion,Jillali replied,
      -"I don't understand. The officer showed me the flag, I told him it was a flag. He suddenly got angry and said it wasn't... That flag is my father, my mother, my brother and my sister!!! This is really something strange."
      Samir was called in for the test. When he got in, the lieutenant showed him the flag and asked,
      -"What is that?"
Samir happily answered,
      -"That's JILLALI'S FAMILY."!!!
