Jimbo Orders Construction of Grand Tomb
J
imbo dispatched orders yesterday to assemble a work force of 100,000 floodplain farmers to construct a huge tomb for him. "It will be a great pyramid reaching toward the sky; a grander tomb than that of any other pharaoh," Jimbo said."While the Nile is flooded, farmers will work on my tomb," said Jimbo. "It will take many men and many years, but it will be worth the effort."
When told that the Nile no longer floods because of the construction of the Aswan High Dam and that he has no authority to summon 100,000 men to work for him, Jimbo grumbled and continued drinking.
