The Governor’s Blessed Trip

Written story
The local Governor went out of town for a week. When he returned, Mulla went to welcome him back. Mulla asked, "Did you have a good trip, Your Excellency?" "It was quite eventful," the Governor sighed. "On Monday, a massive fire burned down a neighborhood. On Tuesday, a rabid dog bit two people. On Wednesday, a flash flood wiped out a farm. On Thursday, a wolf attacked a shepherd. On Friday, a man went crazy and attacked his family. On Saturday, a roof collapsed, and on Sunday, a woman tragically hung herself." Mulla nodded gravely. "Thank God your trip only lasted a week. With the 'blessing' of your footsteps, if you had stayed any longer, there wouldn't have been a single stone left standing!"
