NGONGE Posted June 6, 2012 Every time I log into FB, I find endless notifications from friends, cousins and acquaintances with almost all of them full of junk quotations from various authors, celebrities or philosophers. I never used to mind such sayings or stories in the past (Aesop’s fables and all that) but, I’m not sure if it is age that made me cranky or was it the overexposure to this nonsense. Anyway, I have decided to write my own story and share it in FB . Here goes: NIN XUN! It is said in the old folktales (or waxa la yedhi, in our own tongue) that there once lived a man who had a dreadful habit of disparaging everything. When commenting on the food he just ate he would be heard saying “cunto xun baan cunay” When talking about his place of work he would often say “meel xun baan ka shaqeeya” The middle of his winter would always contain “dhaxan xun”, the height of his summer “qurrax xun” When the people got fed up with his endless carping, they nicknamed him “NIN XUN”! On the day of his wedding, a passerby asked the family of the bride who they were giving their daughter to, “NIN XUN” they all replied. As the years passed and he had a troop of children, an old man asked them whose children they were; “NIN XUN” they all screamed. Finally, came the inevitable day most of us dread and the man passed away! An old lady watching the funeral procession asked them “who died?” they all replied........ Can you guess the profound moral of this story? p.s. I wrote the whole thing in Somali but some 'nin xun' put me off posting it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted June 6, 2012 Yes Juxa and I often see your picture on the right hand side with the question "do you know Juxa?" but I ignore it and say to myself "kolay iyada na waa la waydiiyay 'do you know NGONGE' and she ignored it. Anigo ma jaariyada i dhashay?". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
