Bella told a true story recently which was really amusing. It’s about her Iranian friends — a husband and wife, who live in Germany. Their German neighbor had a champion rabbit, one of those special breeds, in a cage in the back yard.
One night the Iranian couple see their dog has the rabbit between his teeth. It was all muddy and dirty and very dead. What a disaster!
It would have been terrible if the German neighbor found out that the dog had gone into their yard and killed his poor prized rabbit. The Iranian couple were horrified thinking of the possible consequences.
What could they do? How could they avoid a scandal?
They washed and blow dried the rabbit, quietly went over the neighbor’s yard before the sun was up and put the dead body in the cage — to make it seem he had died of natural causes.
Then they waited… and waited. For weeks they didn’t hear anything from the German neighbor.
Finally one day as the Iranian husband was working in his yard, he sees his German neighbor and starts a conversation.
— “How are you? Is everything OK?” he asks the neighbor.
— “Yes… everything is fine. Except my wife is not feeling well.”
— “Oh? What’s wrong?”
— “Well, a few weeks ago our rabbit died and we buried it in our yard. But the next day my wife found him in his cage. She thinks the rabbit has come back from the dead.”
