    About this ebook

    Silly Stories with Meaning is a simple-to-read book in which I share short real life stories from my own life experiences, from people I know or from a third source. Each Story in the book has a valuable life lesson (s) which is presented immediately beneath the story in question. The stories' origin are mixed as it relates to geographical area or cultural background but most of them are of African or Arabian background. The incidents and events took place across many countries. There are also a few that took place centuries ago in various places. The majority of the stories in the book portray real accounts of real life events that had significant impact in my learning of many valuable life lessons. You are invited to this journey which I hope will be an enjoyable and fruitful experience for you.
