Rajaee, the Minister

By: Abbass Sahe-uz-zamani
Mr. Rajaee gave me a call and asked me to accept a responsibility. I apologized and refused to accept it. He called me again and firmly ordered:”?Abbass, come to my house on Friday, I want to talk to you, but don’t forget to put on your overcoat!" I asked Alright, but I don’t know why should I put on my overcoat? "He said: "the weather is too cold and our heater is not working, I am afraid you catch a cold." I asked: "What is wrong with your heater?" He said: "The heater’s pipe inside the roof has been worn out and I have not found an opportunity to go change it." I told him:" May I ask Aqa Ne’mat, (The servant of ‘Kamal’ School where Mr. Rajaee and I used to teach there before he becomes the minister of education) to come and repair it?" He said:”?No, don't bother! If you ask him to do so, he might think that because I have become the minister, I order him to come and repair my heater pipe! I have to take this responsibility! Someday, when I find an opportunity, I will repair it.”?
