Al Wasik Billah

He is the Almighty President. The whole country sits up with his fingers in movement. One night he was sitting inside a glass wall in his palace, looking at his capital, the City of Lights, shining in the light. Sitting next to him was his teenage grandson. The president's son was killed by the rebels. His only legacy was grandchildren. He meant to his grandson that if he grew up he would have to take charge of the country. But then the grandson had no interest in managing the country. She wanted to eat ice cream. He telephoned the power department to explain the importance of power to his grandson. The grandson said, "Do you see what a beautiful light is shining?" In my instruction you will see how it will be dark in a moment, how will all become enlightened at my instruction! The president instructed the power department to cut off the entire city's electricity without my palace. Within moments the whole city was darkened. The grandson had fun. He took the phone receiver from his grandfather and ordered himself to turn it on. At the same time, all the lights in the city were lit. The grandson ordered again, shut it down. The whole city became dark again. The grandson ordered to turn it on again. But this time, no lights were lit. On, on, on, grandson said. But no, the city is as dark as ever. The president's face turned red with anger. With the grandson's receiver in a harsh tone, he asked, "What's the matter?" Why not on? But there is no answer. Suddenly, there was a slight flash of light inside the city. Then a little further away. Then many places at once. No, no electricity. With the flickering of light, the sound of gunfire and explosions began to come. Rebellion has begun in the city.
