HELLO, MAN OF ABASIA

A GENTLEMAN WHO LIVES IN CAIRO(ORIGINALLY FROM BANI MAZAR,CITY OF MENIA) TOLD US THE FOLLOWING:

A RELATIVE OF MINE CAME FROM BANI MAZAR FOR A VISIT. TO WELCOME HIM, I TOOK HIM TO VISIT POPE KYROLLOS. ONCE WE ENTERED THE PLACE WHERE HIS HOLINESS WAS RECEIVING HIS GUESTS, HIS HOLINESS IMMEDIATELY SAID TO MY RELATIVE: “ HELLO MAN OF ABASIA”. (ABASIA IS A SURBARB IN CAIRO, WHERE THE MENTAL HOSPITAL IS LOCATED).

I WAS VERY UPSET THAT THE POPE INSULTED MY RELATIVE.ONCE WE LEFT THE CHURCH, I APOLOGISED TO MY RELATIVE SAYING: “ I AM SORRY, IF I KNEW THAT THE POPE WOULD INSULT YOU, I WOULD NOT HAVE ASKED YOU TO VISIT HIM”. MY RELATIVE WAS SURPRISED AT MY COMMENT, THEN HE ASKED ME: “ HOW DID THE POPE INSULT ME?” I TOLD HIM: “THE POPE CALLED YOU MAN OF ABASIA”. MY RELATIVE STARTED LAUGHING, THEN HE INFORMED ME THAT THE POPE IS A SAINT, AND THAT IS HOW HE KNEW THAT MY RELATIVE WAS BORN IN A VILLAGE CALLED ABASIA, IN BANI MAZAR.

THE POPE WHO IS A SAINT KNEW WHERE THAT MAN WAS BORN, WHEREAS HIS RELATIVE DID NOT.
