When Maryam Nawaz was asked to write an essay:
The Poor Family
Once, a rich girl was asked to write an essay on “A Poor Family” in her exam.
The examiner eagerly picked up her answer sheet. After reading the first few lines, his eyes widened, and by the end, he was questioning all his life choices.
Her essay read:
“There was a very poor family.
The father was poor. The mother was poor.
They had only four employees in the house, and sadly, they were poor too.
The children were so unfortunate that they had to use old iPhones. Imagine the struggle!
The family had only one car—a BMW. Even worse, the BMW was slightly faded and looked like it had seen better days.
They had second-hand ACs in only three rooms.
They lived in an old bungalow that was probably built a whole ten years ago.
The entire family was living in extreme poverty and had to face unimaginable difficulties every single day.
It was truly a heartbreaking life.”
The examiner wiped away a tear…
Not because he felt sorry for the family.
He was trying very hard not to laugh. 😂
