- Laith Taher 85
One day, he came to her house to talk to her. He
knocked the door. She opened it. When she saw him, she
felt afraid because she knew he was a dangerous criminal.
He was an obese man with a dark complexion. He
had a thin black moustache.
When he saw her very white complexion, which
was like snow, and her beautiful eyes, he could not believe
himself, that she was going to be his, and that he was going
to enjoy all that beauty.
He smiled a dirty smile. “Hello, Tania. How are
you?”
She replied, “Hello, how can I help you?”
She was so afraid of him and wanted to get rid of
him as soon as possible. That was why she spoke in a way
that would force him to say what he wanted directly.
He replied, “Do not you invite your guests inside
your house before asking them what they want?”
His smile grew bigger.
She said immediately, “In fact, I do not. I am living
alone with my children, and there is no man in my house,
so I do not invite strangers inside.”
Then she added to force him to say whatever he
wanted fast, “How can I help you?”
“But I am not a stranger to you,” he said smiling.
“Am I?”
“Anyway, what made me come here is that I want
to propose marriage to you.”
