One thing happened years back that has changed my attitude. It was early in the moring, i was going to school by "Weyeyet taxi". We were going from Mexico to "Sidist Kilo - Shero Meda". One guy was sitting infront of me, his cloth, age, look,...all were normal to me. Around "bete` Mengest" the guy asked on of the passangers if the taxi was going to "Adissu Gebeya"... all the passangers looked at him, including myself, and told him that he got the wrong taxi! He said that he wanted to go to "Fiche`", outside Addis! He told us a short "story" ... he was in Addis for a funerral and wanted to ask someone a ride to "Fiche`" once he found the "Suluta Road". Most of the passangers gave him some cash and told him to take the "Piaza" taxi at "Arat Kilo" ... Guess what the Weyala said to him when he got off the taxi? "ante seweye lemin serthe atebelam?" The guy replied, "enathe ****... min agebahe ena new?" I am usually confused by this thing … hard to tell who is really telling the truth. One thing happened years back that has changed my attitude.
