A man slaughtered a big cow, lit the grill and said to his daughter:
“Daughter, call our relatives, friends, and neighbours to eat with us... let us feast!"

His smart daughter took to the street and started shouting:
“Please help us put out a fire at my Dad's house!".

After a few moments, a small group of people came out and the rest acted like they didn't hear her cry for help.

Those who came, ate and drank until late.

The stunned father turned to his daughter and said to her:

“The people who came I barely know them, some I have never seen them before. So, where are our relatives, friends, and neighbours ?".

The daughter replied to her Father:
"Those who came out of their homes came to help us put out a fire in our house, and not for the party. These are the ones who deserve our generosity and hospitality".

The people you think were yours have never been yours.

This is the irony of the life we live in. So be careful in those you call your relatives and neighbors.
