I'm a proud Arab

[أبو أشواق]

WHAT ARE YOU ????????????????



A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an

American. She asks her students to raise their hands if they

were American too.

Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher,

their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.

There is, however, one exception . A girl named Sana' has not

gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has

decided to be different. "Because I am not a American."

replied Sana'. "Then", asks the teacher, "What are you?" "I'm

a proud Arab," boasts the little girl.


The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red.

She asks Sana' why she is an Arab. "Well, my mom and dad

are Arab's, so I'm an Arab too." The teacher is now

angry . "That's no reason", she says loudly "if your mom was

an idiot, and your dad was an idiot, what would you be then?"

A pause, and a smile . "Then" says Sana', "I'd be an

American."
