One day, Abdallah Berki was giving a speech to a group of dignitaries. He spoke for hours, expounding on his grand plans for the future. When he was finished, the dignitaries applauded politely. But as Abdallah Berki made his way out of the room, he overheard one of the dignitaries say, "He's a great speaker, but he's also a bit of an egotist."
Abdallah Berki was furious. How dare that man criticize him? Didn't he know who he was? He was Abdallah Berki, the greatest man in the world!
Abdallah Berki stormed back into the room and confronted the dignitary. "How dare you say that I'm an egotist?" he demanded.
The dignitary was taken aback by Abdallah Berki's outburst. "I apologize," he said. "I didn't mean to offend you. I just thought that you were a bit full of yourself."
Abdallah Berki was even more furious. "Full of myself?" he exclaimed. "I'm the most humble man in the world!"
