A respectable Moroccan seller


Two foreigners had been haggling for some cheap clay pieces  at his stall. The shop-keeper wrapped the pieces with newspapers. The foreigners put them in their car trunk. They were about to leave when he ran to give them a fifty euro note they had dropped carelessly amongst his pottery.

A stupid electrocution


He was a renowned sword swallower. One day he swallowed a fluorescent bar the length of a sword. There was a blackout in the hall and he lit the lamp in his stomach. People saw the light through his skin and clapped. He bowed. Then, the lamp broke into pieces.

A ten dirham coin


He was standing motionless in the middle of a narrow street in Fez Medina. He was like a dark skinny wooden statue asking for some alms, wearing a worn out djellaba. His mahogany face shone in the sun crossed by deep wrinkles. A foreigner gave him a ten dirham coin.
