  Enfranchised for nothing

  Mohammed told his wife that he had no enmity for the country that had just enfranchised him with citizenship. He was enthusiastic about an enhanced level of freedom, new opportunities to be enterprising,and the enlightenment of his new fellow countrymen. He was sure that his life would be enriched in many ways. He even seemed to be enjoying himself.

  When an ensemble of old friends from his homeland arrived, however, he was not so enthusiastic. The changes that ensued concerned his wife greatly. He began to enforce strict dietary rules on the family,he spent an enormous time out of the house and he endorsed an enterprise that did not seem so legitimate.

  When she could no longer endure all of the changes, Mohammed's wife made an enquiry at the enterprise about what their true business was. She ensured that they would not know who she was by speaking in a higher voice and using a false name.

  Mohammed came home early that afternoon. He was devoid of any enthusiasm.

  "I am only here to enlarge the power of my homeland." He said in a voice she had never heard. "And enlist people to work against this country from within. I had hoped you would never know. But now you have gone too far and I fear what I am entailed to do."

  Mohammed's wife shuddered when he looked at her with eyes full of hate. She didn't even notice the men carrying guns pointed at her coming in through the back of the house...

  白給的公民權

  穆罕默德對妻子說他對剛授予他公民權的國家毫無敵意。他充滿了熱情，因為他的自由增加了，有了新的進取機會，而且新同胞們也很開明。他確信他的生活在許多方面會更加充實。他甚至看上去過得很愉快。

  可是，當從祖國來的那幫老朋友到了之后，他就不那么滿懷熱情了。接下來的變化讓妻子很擔心，他開始對家里人實行嚴格的飲食規定，他花大量的時間在外面，并且支持一家看上去不怎么合法的公司。

  穆罕默德的妻子再也不能忍受所有這些變化，她到公司去詢問他們到底做的是什么生意。她尖聲說話，使用化名，確保他們不會知道她的身份。

  那天下午穆罕默德很早就回家了，他的熱情不見了。

  “我來這兒就是為了擴大祖國的力量。”他用一種她從未聽到過的聲音說道。“并且招兵買馬從內部顛覆這個國家。我本來希望你永遠不會知情。但現在你做得太過分了，我擔心我必須要做的事情?！?

  穆罕默德用充滿仇恨的雙眼看著妻子，她不禁渾身顫抖起來。她甚至沒有注意到有人拿槍對著她從房屋后面進來了……
