Bahlool and the Target
One day, Bahlool threw a stone that struck a man and injured him. The man, angry and hurt, dragged Bahlool before the judge to seek justice.
The judge asked Bahlool, “Why did you hit him with the stone? Did you deliberately aim at him?”
Bahlool replied innocently, “I did not aim at him. He, by his own doing, entered the trajectory of my throw.”
Bahlool’s clever response, though humorous, turned the situation into a playful paradox, leaving those in the courtroom amused and the judge momentarily at a loss for how to proceed. It was another example of Bahlool’s unique ability to defuse serious situations with his sharp wit and humor.
