THE ARAB SHEIKH & THE ILOCANO BLOOD DONOR
_________________________________________________________________________________
An Arab Sheikh was admitted to the Philippine Heart Center in Manila
for a heart transplant, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to
store his blood in case need arises. As the gentleman had a rare type of
blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out to a number
of provinces.
Finally an Ilocano was located who had a similar type of blood. The
Ilocano willingly donated his blood for the Arab.
After the surgery, the Arab sent the Ilocano as appreciation for
giving his blood, a new Toyota Prado, diamonds, jewelry, and a million
US dollars.
Once again the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery. His doctor
telephoned the Ilocano who
was more than happy
to donate his blood
again.
After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Ilocano a thank you card
and a jar of Almond halwa
sweets.
The Ilocano was shocked that the Arab this time did not reciprocate his
kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Arab and asked him:
"I thought that you would be generous again, that you would again give me
a Toyota Prado, Money, Diamonds and Jewelry...but you only gave me a thank
you card and a jar of Almond sweets!"
To this the Arab replied:
"Manong...I now have Ilocano blood in my veins."
