My Muslim Neighbors Are Great!  from B

Today I had an emergency that required a licensed electrician.     Two Lebanese men came and spent at least one hour dealing with my problem in my very old house which was built in 1927.   It could have been expensive and he knew I was worried about the cost.

When it came time to settle I asked him how much and he said: "you have a horse in the basement".  WHAT?  I couldn't understand him because his accent was so heavy.  I thought he must have meant "hose" but no.  We were really struggling with my inability to understand.  Finally he went down stairs and took a photo on his phone and showed me.   He was talking about a toy rocking horse that had been down there for years.  He said he wanted it for his child.

I told him; "yes, of course you may have it but how much do I owe you for the work?"

He would take no money, just the toy.    

Believe me when I tell you, that made my day and I can't seem to stop smiling.

This is not the first time something like this has happened in my dealings with Arabs here in Dearborn.   Indeed this is typical of my experience with my Arab neighbors,  Christian or Muslim and in my opinion it speaks volumes.

People are basically the same everywhere.

This is the "truth" that people need to hear.
