Latifahoi adabi

Mo tojikon khele mehmondustem. Makhsusan, agar mehmon khoriji boshad, uro ba tavri khudamon khele ehtirom mekunem. In sunnati iftikhorii most. Farqe nadorad, ki in mehmon ba mehmondorii mo chi guna munosibat mekunad, baroi mo sunnati khudamon muhimtar ast. Hatto ba gushai khayolamon nameoyad, ki mehmon metavonad az in mehmonnavozii az had ziyod norohat bishavad. Mehmonnavozi dar fahmi mo beshtar khurokdihi ba mehmon ast. SHoyad zamoni pesh, ki mo- shinu havopaymo nabudaast va mehmonon ruzu haftahoro dar roh meguzaronidaand, sabab shuda boshad, ki mo say kunem mehmonro dar yak nishast baroi yak haftai pesh va haftai badi khurok dihem, to gushnagii dar rohi omadu raft kashidaashro jubron kunem.

Bore, hodisai jolibe ruy doda bud. YAk pisari sohibi shir- kati bozargonii amrikoii «Danavant» ba Tojikiston mehmon shuda bud. Albatta, bad az davoi ziyod, dovtalabon baroi mehmon giriftani u ruykhati navbatro tahiya karda budand. Mo chand nafar saroni shirkathoi sodirkunandai pakhta niz dar in ziyofatho davati budem. Dar yak ziyofati shomi in sil- sila, mehmoni amrikoi bad az khurdani khuroki yakum elon kard, ki digar chize khurdan namekhohad. Mizbon, khuroki duvu-
mu sevumu gayraro ba etirozi u nigoh nakarda, dar peshash memond. Mehmon in khurokhoro ham to okhir mekhurd. Nihoyat, vaqte peshash shirini guzoshtand, u ba man, ki dar kanorash nishasta budam, guft:

• Agar inro ham khuram, memuram. Man nigaron shuda guftam:
• Nakhur, pas, charo mekhuri?.

Pursid:

• Mizbon norohat nameshavad?
• CHaro boyad norohat shavad? – pursidam man.
• Okhir ba man guftand, ki agar dar in kishvar murooti mizbonro rad kuni, onro behurmati ba sohibi khona medonand, – javob dod u.

Bechora, u az purkhurii gayriodat mariz shud va mo uro du ruz tabobat kardem, to tavoni tahammuli rohi bargashtro pay- do kunad.
