Ya Got $60?
Our neighbors Muh and Fatim have been renting their house in August and doing pretty good, charging 200dh ($25)/day. In the meantime, we let them with us stay upstairs. Well, word got out on the street.
Ding-dong. Door bell. Two teenage girls outside.
"Who do you want?" we asked them.
"Fatim" they answered.
"No available."
Later, we asked Fatim who they were.
"Oh, I don't want to talk to them. They rented last summer and borrowed 200dh ($25) which they never repaid. They probably want to borrow more money."
Sure enough, the girls returned. "Can we borrow 500dh ($62.50)?"
Fatim was mad. "You never repaid the 200dh you borrowed last summer."
"Oh, we didn't remember."
End of conversation.
