Akpos and Musa were caught in a Northern african
country, sharing a smuggled barrel of beer. They
were arrested and taken to the Sheik's palace for
questioning and judgment.
Akpos lied that Musa smuggled and forced him to
drink the beer! Both were initially given a death
sentence but, as it was a national holiday, the Sheik
decided they should be released after some lashes of
the whip. As they were preparing for their
punishment, the Sheik said, "It's my first wife's
birthday today and she asked me to allow each of you
2 wishes before your whipping, but you cannot wish
not to be whipped!"
Akpos thought for a second then said: "Please tie two
pillows to my back before whipping." And my second
wish is that you flog me only 20 strokes of the whip.
He was whipped, and luckily for him, the pillows
helped to make the pain of the whip lesser.
Musa saw this; thought for a second, then said:
"Thank you, most royal and merciful highness for the
wishes. My first wish is to receive 100 lashes with the
strongest, toughest whip available.", Akpos laughed
and thought Musa was a fool...The Sheik replied with
a puzzled look on his face," and your second wish?"
Musa replied "Tie Akpors to my back!"
