SPRING WEATHER


At the village coffee shop, they had run out of topics of gossip. Somebody complained that it was much too hot.

"There's no satisfying the people!" he proclaimed.

"Now, now, my friend!" intervened the Hodja, "Don't rush to false conclusions! Whoever heard of anybody complaining about the sweet spring weather?"
