Fat Joe|جوچاق

“222nd” Stories

Joe was a very fat boy. He was from a very religious family and attended a school where the teacher was a priest.

Joe was so fat that they had to cut the chair’s handle for him to fit on it. He was a very kind and polite boy with a few friends.

Unfortunately, the other classmates made fun of him and never took him seriously.

He was a smart boy, but because he was an honest guy, he believed others easily, and that made people take advantage and make

fun of him.

One day the Priest started the class with this sentence: “There is a donkey outside which has wings and can fly, you can go and take a look.”

The only person who ran outside to see the flying donkey was our Fat Joe. And of course, there wasn’t any flying donkey outside, and when he came back to the class everyone laughed hard, even the priest.

Fat Joe stood quietly and let everyone laugh as much as they liked, and then said: “It is more believable that a donkey can fly, to a priest who’s a liar!”

Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.

    I think the priest wanted his class to learn where the big lies are coming from.
    Stunning post as always.

    I believe in smart Joe because he has a vivid imagination. What’s life without a little bit of sparkle and unicorns 🦄

    Fat Joe to me was out of line with this comment. The teacher should have scolded him.

    Joe’s honest reflections share a special type of grace. May we all accept the same and share it.
