not bad, you captured the Arab need to get a the best bargain at all costs, lol. Two Arab Nomads came across a small oasis where a shepherd was camped. One Arab paused and proclaimed to the other that a sheep just told him that a wolf had killed her lamb on this very spot one year ago. Arab Number two doubted his claim to be able to talk to a sheep. So after some argument, they went to the shepherd to inquire about the event. The Shepherd confirmed that a lamb had been taken by a wolf when he had visited this oasis a year ago. The second Arab stated that wolves regularly take lambs and it was merely a minor coincidence. So, the two continued and found a table all set up with two glasses of grape juice ready to drink. They were both very attracted to this sight under the hot sun. But, the first Arab said, "don't drink because a crow just informed me that these drinks are poisoned." You are such a liar said the second Arab, I don't believe that even for a moment. They got into a horrible argument so the first Arab said, "Alright I will prove it." He drank the grape juice and died instantly. This is an ancient Arab fable that demonstrates how important losing an argument can be for an Arab. Death being less of a problem.
