Vicious lies you spread around the village about me I am unable to defend myself Can you live with what you have done There are those who will listen to your gossip I am innocent! I did not steal him away from you My only crime was he preferred my love to yours One day you may understand why he left you Regretting those vile words you said about me Victim or Victor – it’s not our happiness that matters I did not mean for this to happen Can't you understand why he choose me over you? Those many weeks you were on holiday, you left no one to feed him One day he crept into my home, sat by the fireside and won't leave Rest assured I will look after your abandoned pet cat!

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named 'Amal.' The other goes to a family in Spain, they name him Juan'. Years later; Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wished she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, ''But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal.''
