A Tunisian tale of wit and flattery
The greatest, the wisest of caliphs, Harun al-Rashid, naturally has many tales associated with him.
My performing record tells me that I told this one a couple of times in 1994, and then never again until rediscovering it in 2025. Strange how these things happen!
