After a Considerable Gap

Since the inception of this blog it has been quite a considerable gap of time that I decided to reactivate it with a humorous incident from the life of an eminent persian poet Sheikh Sadi who while wandering through the world once reached a place with his entourage that included his donkey and parrot. He had so less money that he was unable to decide whether to feed himself with the money he had or to feed his ass or his parrot. A child saw his grim face and when Sheikh told this child about his predicament. He suggested to Sheikh to buy watermelon with the little money he had as watermelons are quite cheap in the town.With one water melon he can feed himself as well as his donkey and parrot.He can consume red, ripe and sweet portion himself, give the outer skin to his donkey and feed his parrot with its seed. Even a child could surprise a scholar as Sheikh Sadi so nothing and nobody should be ignored or underestimated. I hope that this blog would get the rhythm of regularity and many more interesting anecdotes in its future editions.
