THE CURSE OF ALLAH BE ON ME!

One day a group of the Hodja's friends decided to go on a picnic. Then, of course, there arose the question of who was going to bring what.

One of them said, "The meat for the shish kebab is on me."

Another said, "The meat for the roast is on me."

The third one undertook to supply all the chickens, and the fourth all the fruit and vegetables necessary for the party.

Just then, the Hodja broke in and said, "Friends, we now seem to have all that we need for the picnic. So, for my part, may I add that should this feast last for years and I miss a day of it, let the curse of Allah be on me!"
