Once upon a time there was a madman in a hospital called Emanuel in Addis Ababa. This madman wants to leave the hospital, and he went to the doctor and reported as if he is OK.
“I’m cured from my mental problem.”
And the doctor asked him, how he could come to know whether he is cured or not, because it is difficult to know everything for the mad people.
And the madman replied, “I have a good kidney to think over it,” pointing at his head.
The doctor said, “You’re still mad.”
አሁንም እብድ
በሽመላሽ በቀለ የተተረከ
በአንድ ወቅት አዲስ አበባ ውስጥ በሚገኘው አማኑኤል ሆስፒታል ውስጥ የሚታከም እብድ ሰው ነበር፡፡ ታዲያ ይህ ሰው ከሆስፒታል መውጣት ፈልጎ ዶክተሩ ጋ በመሄድ ደህንነቱን ይነግረዋል፡፡
“አሁን ከአእምሮ ችግሬ ድኛለሁ፡፡”
ዶክተሩም ያበዱ ሰዎች ምንም ነገር ስለማያውቁ መዳን አለመዳኑን እንዴት እንዳወቀ ጠየቀው፡፡
እብዱም ሰው ወደ ጭንቅላቱ እየጠቆመ “ጥሩ ማሰቢያ ኩላሊት አለኝ፡፡” አለው፡፡
ዶክተሩም “በል አሁንም እብድ ነህ፡፡” አለው ይባላል፡፡
