The Taliban's Lesson in Laughter

Once upon a time, there was a group of Taliban who were known to be terrorists and did not believe in human rights. They thought their version of things was the only right one.

One day, they decided to go to the United Nations to spread their ideas to the world. But as soon as they arrived, they were greeted by a group of funny fundamentalists who had a different version of things.

The Taliban were shocked to see that these guys were not serious at all, and instead of talking about terrorism and human rights, they were telling jokes and making silly faces.

The Taliban couldn't understand how these people could be so carefree while they were so focused on their cause. They asked the fundamentalists what their secret was, and they simply replied, "Life is too short to be serious all the time. You should always find time to have fun and enjoy life."

From that day on, the Taliban changed their ways and started to enjoy life a little more. They were still firm in their beliefs, but they learned that it was okay to have fun and be silly sometimes.

And so, the moral of the story is that even the most serious people can learn to have a little fun and enjoy life.
