Mulla’s Promise

Written story
Mulla asked his stingy neighbor, "Why do you never invite me over for dinner?" The neighbor scoffed, "Because you eat like a maniac. You don't even finish chewing one bite before you're reaching for the next one!" Mulla put his hand on his heart and said, "If you invite me over, I promise that between every single bite, I will stand up and pray two full rounds of prayer!"
