Text : DJEHA AND THE FISH


Djeha liked fish very much, and when he had
enough money, he bought some for his dinner, when he went to the market, and
took it home. But when his wife saw the fish, she always said to
herslf : « Good ! Now I will invite my friends to lunch and eat this fish. They
like fish very much. ».


So when Djeha came home in the evening
after his work, the fish was never there, and his wife always
said : « Oh ! Your cat ate it !She is a very bad
animal ! ». And she gave Djeha soap and rice for his dinner.


But one evening, when this happened Djeha
became very angry. He took the cat and his wife to the shop near his house and
weighed the cat carefully. Then he turned it to his wife and
said : « My fish weighed two kilos. This cat weighs two kilos,
too. My fish is here, you say. Then where is my cat ? ».
