Laughter meter

Laughter meter has become a real phenomenon forced upon people to
cope with. It is made for the sake of reducing the consumption of
laughter because, as it is said, Morocco is suffering from a serious
economic crisis that requires people do understand that by paying the bills of laughter, they help the improvement and the development of
their country. This meter is displayed only at the doors of poor
people's houses, maybe because they are poor and can not but submit to this new policy, or just because they are ready to help their own country.


At first, when seeing a laughter meter displayed on the front wall of
their houses next to the door, people were so happy as this gave them that sense of privilege, and made them feel being good citizens because they are chosen to have these meters rather than the rich. However, people found themselves trapped for having to pay many bills they could not afford ,the electricity, water and laughter bills.. Poor people sometimes complain about their unability to pay the overestimated bills, but the only statement they hear is "pay then complain".

One day, while I was wandering, I heard a conversation between the
laughter bill accountant and a CITIZEN .The conversation was as follows:

" sorry, sir, I did not consume this much laughter this month". Said the
citizen
"No! You did consume that much" replied the accountant.
"I only laughed twice this month" said the citizen.
"Really! no problem, but tell me first if you know the meaning of the fox is not taken twice in the same snare"
" I don't know it, sir"
"Ok! Here is the story».

An early morning, Mr.kamal was on his way to his office when he
found a black suitcase where in there was a great amount of
money. When seeing that suitcase, he thought of taking it with him home. However, two drinkers were in nearby and saw Mr.kamal holding the suitcase. So the drinkers threatened, insulted and even beat him to make him give up the suitcase, but all their effort was in vain because Mr.kamal kept holding it even though he was seriously injured. Then he got hold of two stones by which he struck the drinkers making them fall unconsciously on the ground.

With difficulty kamal reached his house, and he started
immediately counting the money and day dreaming. He imagined himself buying a big car, houses and having all kinds of entertainment that he was deprived of before, till he hear a voice that sounded like his wife's
"kamal. Kamal .get up man! It is 7:
o'clock". Mr.kamal got up sweated and frightened. "What is the matter, you silly woman? And where is the suitcase?"
"What suitcase are you talking about".
"There was a black suitcase full of money, where is it?
"Oh! Dear. It seems a dream you had"
"No!!!! It was not a dream. It was real .I touched the money myself. So
if it was just a dream why did not you awaken me when I was being

beaten" .Said kamal angrily
"How could I know, dear. Said his wife.
After a long conversation Kamal's wife could convince her husband
that he was just dreaming.

Two weeks later, Mr.kamal really found a black suitcase on his way home, but he did not believe it to be true because, as he said when he was leaving it behind him, the fox is not taken twice in the same snare", and he continued his way home.

When hearing kamal's story, all the people in the accountant's
office laughed a lot. Then the accountant drew a big smile on his face and told them that they were not only going to pay the bills, but to pay for their immediate laughter. So, every one was forced to pay in addition to the bills 150DH.
