Um....

Let's see

Have U heard of Goha, this strange character from the Middle East, is, by turns, a fool, a wise man.

Here is one of his stories....One day Goha entered a vegetable garden while its owner was absent and began to stuff a sack with fruits and vegetables.

As he was about to leave, with the sack over his shoulder, the owner returned. "What are you doing here?" he asked suspiciously. Goha answered without hesitation.

"That wind storm we had this morning blew me here." "I'll accept that," said the owner somewhat grudgingly. "But who picked those vegetables in your sack?" Again Goha answered immediately.

"The wind was very strong and was about to blow me away again, so I grabbed onto the first thing I could, which happened to be these vegetables I am still holding." "I'll accept that, too," said the owner. "But how did the vegetables get into the sack?" "Funny you should mention that," answered Goha. "I've been wondering about it ever since I first saw you."

Ok friends, here is another story about Goha.

Goha and his sun were going to sell the donkey in the market so Goha and his sun ride the donkey to the market there were a group of people sitting in the side of the road saying this man is very crule he and his sun is sitting over the poor donkey.

So Goha get his sun off the donkey, and then there were another group of people sitting in the side of the road saying this unmercifull man he make his sun walking and he is sitting on the donkey.

So Goha get off the donkey and put his sun on the donkey, another group of people said what an funny man he is walking while his sun resting on the donkey, so Goha get his sun off the donkey and they both walk.

Another group of people when they saw this they said what an stupid man walking while he and his sun can ride the donkey.

What i wanted to say is you will never satisfy a crowed WHAT IS BEST IS TO SATISFY YOUR SELF AND THOSE WHO MATTERS TO YOU.

I think we came here to live this life. The purpose of life is to live here. And the joy of life to to please ourselves not others.

Am i right??

Goha is lovable character, eccentric, simple. His optimism is boundless, his generosity has no limits. He is said to be a fool, but he is clever and conniving and usually outwits every sultan he encounters.

For the Arabs, Goha is the Walter Mitty of Arabia, the little man living out his fantasies, always triumphing over great odds. And for the Westerner, to understand Goha is to comprehend, to a small degree at least, the character of the Arab.

When the sultan wanted someone to teach his pet donkey to read and write, Goha volunteered.

He said the task would take three years and to accomplish it he would need a villa with servants. The sultan agreed and next day Goha and the donkey moved into a splendid mansion. Time passed. Goha’s friends came to visit him and found him lounging about in great comfort while the donkey happily roved over the gardens.

They warned him time and again that if he failed to come up with a literate donkey at the end of three years, he would surely lose his head. But Goha was unperturbed.

"I shall not give up hope," he said. "After all, one of four things might happen: The sultan might die, I may die, the donkey may die or-who knows?--the donkey may learn to read and write."

Aren't we who lives this life with that hope are doing like Goha?

One more story about Mr. Goha

Goha suddenly felt like having a really good meal that evening, so he went to the market and bought three pounds of the best lamb, which he took back home.

"Here," he said to his wife, giving her the three ponds of lamb. "Cook this. It will make a splendid meal."

Goha's wife, who was an excellent cook, cut the meat into pieces and prepared various vegetables and, of course, some rice, which she put into the steaming pot. Finally, she put the meat into the stew to cook. Soon the whole house was filled with the delicious smell of lamb stew bubbling away.

Now it so happened that the wife of Goha's neighbor had some visitors, and they smelled the delicious stew. "Let's visit her," one said. So they went off next door, where they all bent around the cooking pot.

"Let's just try a tiny piece," said Goha's wife, putting a spoon into the steaming stew and eating a piece of meat. Then each of the women put a spoon into the pot, and ate a piece of meat. "Very tasty. Very tasty," they said.

Again they sampled the stew. Again and again. And so it went all afternoon. Soon all the meat was gone. With horror Goha's wife looked into the pot. Her husband's supper had disappeared!

When Goha arrived home, his wife met him and told him that all she had for his supper were some vegetables and a pot of rice.

"What about the three pounds of meat that I bought?" Goha asked. "Dear husband, that wicked cat of ours sneaked into our kitchen and stole it all when my back was turned."

Goha went off in search of the cat, carried it into the house, and put the cat on a pair of scales. Its weight was exactly three pound!

"If this is the cat, dear wife, then where's the meat? But if this is the meat, then where's the cat?"
