Generosity

France

A French tourist specializing in bungee jumping goes to Morocco. Arriving at destination, he decides to jump from the top of a minaret. He goes to the souk, finds a merchant and says to him:
— I need a carabiner, a harness and 25 meters of twisted elastic for bungee jumping.
The merchant provided him with all that.
In the afternoon, the place is full when the French rises and jumps. The elastic stretches, stops 20 cm from the ground and rebounds.
Everyone applauds.

The next day, the village star, Mohamed, wants to do the same to show his courage.
He buys the exactly same material as the French did, then climbs to the top of the minaret, jumps, spreads badly on the ground and dies.
The Moroccan police investigate and question the merchant:
— What did you sell to Mohamed?
Merchant answers:
— I sold him 1 carabiner, 1 harness and 25m of elastic... BUT, as his father was a big friend of my family, I've added 5 meters of elastic FOR FREE !!!
