Man Says 'Eid Sheep' Stolen… Forgives Thief
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Thursday, July 31, 2014

A Saudi man headed for the livestock market on the first day of Eid Al Fitr and bought a sheep as most Saudis do on this occasion.

On his way back home, he stopped at a shop for about 10 minutes and when he returned he was shocked to find that his sheep was stolen.

“I paid SR1,800 (Dh1,800) for the sheep but it was pinched just minutes later…I returned to the market and bought another sheep…on this holy occasion, I forgive the thief,” the man told Okaz daily at his home in the northwestern town of Tabuk.

I forgive the thief
What if he was a Jew or a Christian instead?
I'd cut his head off

Well, I used to wonder why they wanted sheep. You helped me figure it out.

An Eid Al Fitr thief had “pinched” a sheep
And no one could tell where to find it;
Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,
The man at the tail behind it.

What I’d like to know is why it took him 10 minutes to buy Viagra at the shop. Don’t they have drive through pharmacies there?

Ahmed al-Peep has lost his sheep and doesn’t know where to find her.

Leave her alone, Imam has her at home, and is grinning while standing behind her.

Wonder if the guy that sold him the second sheep stole the first sheep to sell to him?
