They Met in a Dance Hall
التقيا في صالة رقص
* They met in a dance hall... He asked her to dance with him... but she declined. He pressed her to know the reason, and she told him:
I dance only with a man who has a future!
He smiled and said nothing... Then she asked him:
— And why do you want to dance with me, of all women?!
He said, recovering his smile: Because I like to dance with a woman who has a past!!
* التقيا في صالة رقص .. فدعاها للرقص معه .. ولكنها اعتذرت . فألح عليها في ان يعرف السبب ، فقالت له :
انني لا ارقص الا مع الرجل الذي له مستقبل !
وابتسم هو وسكت .. فعادت تسأله :
- ولماذا تريد ان ترقص معي أنا بالذات ؟!
فقال لها وهو يستعيد ابتسامته : لاني احب ان ارقص مع امرأة لها ماض !!
