THE PIGEON PLAGUE
The Nazim of Rawalpindi was very worried about a plague of pigeons in Rawalpindi.
He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Rawalpindi was full of pigeon poop, the people of Rawalpindi could not walk on the sidewalks, or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.
One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Nazim a proposition: "I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons without cost to the city.
"But, you must promise not to ask me any questions. Or, you can pay me ten million rupees to ask one question."
The Nazim considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.
The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall, opened his coat, and released a green pigeon. The green pigeon circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue sky. All the pigeons in Rawalpindi saw the green pigeon and gathered up behind the green pigeon. The Rawalpindi pigeons followed the green pigeon as she flew southward out of the city.
The next day the green pigeon returned completely alone to the man, who was waiting atop City Hall.
The Nazim was very impressed. He thought the man and the green pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid Rawalpindi of the plague of pigeons. Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the Nazim presented him with a check for 10 million rupees and told the man that, indeed, he did have a question to ask and even though they had agreed to no fee and the man had rid the city of pigeons, he decided to pay the 10 million just to get to ask ONE
question.
The man accepted the money and told the Nazim to ask his question.
Do you think he is going to ask where the pigeons went?
Do you think he is going to asked where he got the green pigeon?
Noooooooo ! This will get a smile out of you!
