Abdessalem Haque: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat




Abdessalem Haque was a man of many talents. He was a renowned scientist, a brilliant inventor, and a devoted husband. But he was also a man with a very strange condition.
It all started when Abdessalem was working on a new invention in his laboratory. He was trying to create a machine that could translate animal thoughts into human language. But something went wrong, and the machine malfunctioned. Instead of translating animal thoughts, it somehow scrambled Abdessalem's own mind.
When Abdessalem woke up the next morning, he was a changed man. He couldn't remember his own name, and he didn't recognize his wife. He thought she was a hat.
At first, Abdessalem's wife was very worried. She didn't know what to do with her husband. But then she had an idea. She decided to play along with Abdessalem's delusions.
She started wearing a hat all the time, and she pretended to be a hat. Abdessalem was delighted. He loved his new hat. He would talk to it, sing to it, and even dance with it.
Abdessalem's wife was very patient with him. She knew that he was sick, and she wanted to help him get better. But as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, Abdessalem's condition didn't improve.
Finally, Abdessalem's wife decided to take him to a doctor. The doctor examined Abdessalem and told his wife that he had a very rare condition called "Capgras delusion." This condition causes people to believe that their loved ones have been replaced by imposters.
The doctor told Abdessalem's wife that there was no cure for Capgras delusion. But he said that there were ways to manage the condition. He suggested that Abdessalem's wife try to create a routine for him. He also suggested that she try to engage him in activities that he enjoyed.
Abdessalem's wife took the doctor's advice to heart. She started taking Abdessalem for walks every day. She also started reading to him from his favorite books. Abdessalem seemed to enjoy these activities.
Slowly but surely, Abdessalem's condition started to improve. He began to recognize his wife again. And he even started to talk to her without referring to her as a hat.
Abdessalem's wife was overjoyed. She had finally found a way to help her husband. And she knew that they would be able to get through this together.
One day, Abdessalem and his wife were walking in the park when they saw a group of children playing. Abdessalem stopped to watch them. He had always loved children.
"Look, my dear," he said to his wife. "Those children are playing with their hats."
His wife smiled. "Yes, my dear," she said. "They are playing with their hats."
Abdessalem looked at his wife and smiled back. He knew that she was right. And he knew that everything was going to be okay.
The end.
