Mamoun and Zubeideh owned a
little shop and they worked very
hard. When the customers came
they could not help laughing at
them, because Manoun and Zu-
beideh were really funny. They
argued and fought nearly all the
time: but they kept on working.
Their little show was open to the
street and a crowd would collect
when they made a sale. The Gus
toner would enter into the humor
of the situation and he would buy.
One day Mamoun said to Zubeideh:
Let us give up our little shop and
amuse the public"
by my life" answered Zubeideh.
"seest thou naught? Thou art a
fool. Why should we amuse the
public?"
An argument followed and they
were funnnier than ever. Finally
Zubeideh understood that which
Mamoun meant.
With their savings they built a
theater-and then another theater
and then another theater-and
all the time they amused the pub
lie. Herewith they became rich
and famous.
