The Smartphone Affair

As a westerner, it was her first holiday to a middle-eastern nation.

It was like what she had imagined.

She remembered- 'Aladin and the Magic Lamp'.

Fascinated, she was busy clicking photographs using her smartphone.

Just then, a monkey snatched her phone.

"S-T-O-P! Give my phone, Abu!"

Abu was Aladin's pet monkey's name!

The monkey stopped.

A young man started conversing with the monkey in Persian.

The monkey handed him her smartphone!

"Here, Miss!"

"Thank you!" she said relieved.

"How did you know his name was Abu?" he asked.

She smiled.

What is your name?" she asked.

"Aladin", he answered.

  5. Sounds like a romantic story to me. Maybe if the chemistry wasn't there, "Aladdin" would have instructed "Abu" to run away with the phone -- as usual. Good story, Anita.
