Status Updates From حكواتي الليل

ممم ضحكت كثيراً لقصة حمد وضرطته :D

ممتعة!

"Being abroad gave me the tongue of a child, and it soon gave me a child's heart to match. You know that heart and tongue are made from The same flesh."

"I didn't know what a word was really worth until I traveled abroad and lost my voice. Words are invisible jewels; the only people who can see them are the ones who've lost them."

"Lies and spices are siblings. A lie can change even the blandest occurrence into a piquant dish. The truth and nothing but the truth is something only a judge wants to hear. Just like spices, lies should be used solely to add a little flavor."

"Fruit, you see, is first eaten with the eyes, then with the nose, and only lastly with the mouth."

Musa's story was rather confusing with too many convoluted lies.

3 stories done, 4 more to go! Tuma's situation really tugged at me - it's so annoying to not have people believe you when yoh need them to. It's nice how they slyly insert little pockets of info about the Syrian crisis of the time.

Salim observes life in silence.

A story about how Salim the coachman loses his tongue and his 6 friends come to his rescue. I'm getting a real Arabian Night-esque feel from this book, and the first story was already so magical. Loving this book!
