Lost in the Desert

There was a man lost in the desert. He couldn’t find his tent. Finally he stumbled upon it, went inside and closed the flap. He shook out his clothes and lit a lamp. He looked for some food. The only thing that he could find was a box of dates. The first one was bad—full of worms. So he threw it in the corner. The second was the same. So he finally blew out the lamp and ate the dates!
