An Egyptian Folktale

Don't throw stones at a fellow who truely loves you those stones'll come back to you someday or other

It is an Egyptian folk tale, the written version in the proverb but you did'nt obey it, rather as a first lover you ditched him, leaving him alone putting chewing gum casually in your mouth at 8 o'clock past 10 in the morning, you are crossing the quiet desert, no mirage is visible, only broken skeletons of camels lie scattered here and there sometimes after the sun will look like a ruthless hammer after pulling out from your rucksack the last bottle of soft drinks you being exhausted, will roll on the ground senseless sense when regained, you listen to the wind of the storm : It's the curse of the God of sands and deserts :

Throughout your life you all alone will go on searching water you will earn money, enjoy solvency, but never you will get a beloved
