The idea is for you to tell us a story, something your parents told you as a child, something that stuck with you from your elementary school Arabic readings, some myth, legend or tale that you’ll never forget.

Here’s the link again for the ones who haven’t been paying attention

ITS EASY ITS FAST ANYONE CAN DO IT! GO! NOW!

and I am impatient..
