Kh. was convinced that the respect for religious principles and politeness to women were perfectly compatible. He looked through the window and saw the woman completely wrapped in a black sheet hanging the wet clothes on the rope. He thought his wife deserved a compliment. He just said to her:
"You look so pretty today".
Suddenly he felt a strike on his forehead. Then he fell dead, fulminated. He hadn't had time to realize that that wasn't his wife, but his neighbour's, who had heard the compliment and was not so liberal.
Frantz Ferentz, 2013
