Once, there was a company who sold hot chocolate. They decided to set up a stall selling their hot chocolate in Saudi Arabia. They sent a man to set up a stall there. After a month, he came back to report to his boss how the hot chocolate had sold. His boss asked him, "About how much money did you make? How much did you sell?" The man said "I don't know why, but I didn't sell even a cup of hot chocolate! No one even took one of the free samples!" The boss said,"Why? didn't you put good advertisements up?" The man said,"Yes sir. I did not know how to write arabic, so I put up pictures. First I put a picture of a man in the snow, so cold and tired he could barely walk. The next picture showed the man drinking a can of our hot chocolate. The last picture showed him full of energy, nice and warm, because he had drank our hot chocolate. Here, I will show you the pictures."After looking at the pictures, his boss said,"These pictures are good! Why didn't anyone buy the hot chocolate!"
Do you know why no Arabs bought the hot chocolate? If you know why, post your answer in the comment box!
Hi Sahithi,
ReplyDeleteHow are you? relaxed a bit reading all your stories, jokes and brainteasers. You are getting tooooo good at it.
Well, i am thinking the answer to this one is may be he should rearrange his pictures. If i am close enough to the answer then i will put extra thinking to it... let me know.
Hi to all from our side :)
Arabic unlike most languages is read form right to left.
ReplyDeleteso when the Arabians saw they the pictures, they saw an energetic man, after drinking the hot chocolate becoming very tired.
