95. Nasruddin and the Donkey-Boy
Nasruddin bought a donkey and was leading it home. On the way, a thief stole the donkey and left his young son in the harness.
When he got home, Nasruddin was surprised to see his donkey had turned into a boy.
“For my bad behavior, my mother cursed me to become a donkey,” the boy said. “But I repented, and now I’m human again.”
“Make sure you don’t misbehave in future!” Nasruddin said, sending the boy home.
The next day Nasruddin saw the same donkey at the market. “You bad boy!” said Nasruddin. “Didn’t I tell you to behave yourself?”

The deposit check for my replacement A/C should have been received yesterday or today so with any luck it was ordered and will be received late next week. Maybe I can go and have it installed in a couple of weeks. The high temperatures have been over 95°F since 5 July with the past three days over 100. Maybe start to cool down into the lower 90s and upper 80s starting tomorrow with rain in the forecast. That means I might trade high temperatures for a leaking roof that drips on my bed. Will we see.
