King Aaron: Waalikumussalam, Abeydron.. what is happening minister Abeydron?
Why do you come so early?
Abeydron: I`m sorry to bother you in this early morning Your Majesty. I have a bad
dream that will aIIect to our country.
King Aaron: what is your dream?
Abeydron: I saw a bad man came to this country. Fortunately, I know the man. He is
Abunawas` Iriend. And I`m very sure this will come true.
King Aaron: you did? So what should I do?
Abeydron: Your Majesty must assign Abunawas to arrest the dangerous man.
King Aaron: Well then, you call Abunawas come here.
Abeydron calls Abunawas to come in the palace
King Aaron: Abunawas, you must arrest your dangerous man beIore he screws up this
country.
Abunawas: Hold on Your Majesty. What is happening? I don`t know anything about this.
King Aaron: Abeydron has had a dream about your dangerous Iriend. He will bother this
country.
Abunawas: Your Majesty, It`s only a dream. I don`t have such a Iriend.
King Aaron: Abeydron said that his dream will come true. So, you have to bring your bad
Iriend here. I give you a week to Iind him.
Abunawas: nsyaAlloh Your Majesty.
Three days passed by. Abunawas still doesn`t get any idea oI how to bring the bad man. On
the Iourth day, he gets news that on the coming Friday, some guests Irom another country
will visit the king. So, he goes to Abaydron`s house.
Abunawas: Assalamualaikum my brother Abeydron.
Abeydron: Waalaikumussalam my brother Abunawas. What bring you here? Have you
arrested the bad man?
Abunawas: It`s easy. I have Iound him. By the way, have you heard that the king will have
guests next Friday?
Abeydron: Yes oI course. I was invited to welcome the guests there. And you are too.
Your Majesty asks me to tell you too.
Abunawas: Ok, insyaAlloh I will come. I`m here to tell you a secret.
Abeydron: What kind oI secret is it?
Abunawas: King Aaron, oI course, wants us to be nicely dressed and sweet smelled. II we
dress neatly and smell sweet, the guest will appreciate the king. I`ve just got a
traditional medicine to make our breath smell sweet. It`s called cardamom
Abeydron: Now give me some.
Abunawas: unIortunately, I don`t bring any. I will give you at the palace. You don`t have
to pay Ior it.
The next morning, Abunawas goes to the palace. All the ministers have come, but the king
still doesn`t come. Abunawas comes to Abeydron.
Abunawas: Assalamu`alaikum, my brother. Here is the medicine.
Abeydron: Wa`alaikumussalam, my brother. We are not allowed to eat or drink anything
here.
Abunawas: I know. You see, King Aaron has not come yet. Just put some into your mouth.
Chew Ior a while and spit it out.
Abunawas pretends to chew something
The king appears in the palace. He introduces the guests
King Aaron: Assalamu`alaikum, my ministers, introduce our guest Irom Byzantine
kingdom.
Guest 1: My name is Sayyed. I am the minister in the Byzantine kingdom. It`s my
honor to see you all.
Guest 2: My name is Musthapa. I am also the minister in the Byzantine kingdom. It`s
my honor to see you all.
King Aaron: Thank you very much my guests. Now is my turn to introduce my ministers.
Minister Ali: My name is Ali. And I am the minister in this kingdom. Nice to meet you.
Minister Frahan: My name is Farhan. And I am the minister in this kingdom. Nice to meet
you.
When it turns to minister Abeydron, he is confused. He still has cardamom
seeds in his mouth. t is too bitter for him to swallow, yet it is impolite to sipt
out the seeds in front of the king
King Aaron: This is minister Abeydron.
Abeydron is conIused. He doesn`t dare to open his mouth.
King Aaron What`s wrong with you Abey?
Abeydron shakes his head
King Aaron: What`s wrong with your mouth?
Abeydron shakes his head again.
King Aaron: Open it.
King Aaron touches his faw and patted it gently. Abeydron opens his mouth.
And some cardamom fall out from his mouth.
King Aaron: Abu, explain it to me
Abunawas: Excuse me, Your Majesty. This is the bad man Abeydrom saw in his own
dream. He doesn`t answer your questions. He doesn`t show his respects to you
eventhough in Iront oI the guests. And he is one oI my Iriends.

The End
