In Celebration of Int'l Woman's Day

WOMAN OF VALUE

In a conversation a man asks a woman: “What kind of man are you looking for?”

The woman stayed quiet for a moment and then she looked him in the eye and said: “You want to know for real?”

He said: “YES”

The woman started by saying: “Being a woman of this age I am in a position to ask from a man what I cannot give myself. Because nowadays I pay my own bills, and take care of my own and my house without the help of any man.”

That puts me in the position to ask the following question: “What can you as a man contribute with to my life?”

The man stayed quiet for a moment, thinking that she was referring to money. She understood his look and said: “I’m not referring to money, I need more than that!” “I need a man that will fight for perfection in every expect of life.”

The man crossed his arms with the same look on his face and asked the woman to explain this to him.

The woman responded: “I’m looking for a man that will fight for mental perfection because I need a man with whom I can talk , one who will feed me and stimulate me mentally. I don’t need a man that’s mentally simpel. I’m looking for a man that’s fighting for spiritual perfection, because I need a man to share my faith in God. I don’t need a man that’s fighting for financial perfection because I do not need financial assistance. I need a man that’s sensible enough to understand me for the things I have to go through in life as a woman. He also needs to be strong enough to encourage me and never let me fall. I’m looking for a man that I can respect. For me to be his woman I need to respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man that cannot handle his own problems. I have no problem to be submissive to a man, but he needs to earn my respect. I cannot help a man that cannot help himself.”

When the woman stopped talking she saw confusion in the man’s eye.

The man told her: “You ask for too much!”

She responded: “I Am worth it All!”

MUHE DI BALOR

Den un kombersashon, un hòmber ta puntra un muhé: "Ki tipo di hòmber bo ta buskando?"

E muhè a keda un momento ketu i despues el a mira e hòmber den su wowonan i a puntr'è: "Di bèrdat bo kier sa?"

E hòmber a respondé: "SI"

E muhé a kuminsa bisa: "Siendo un muhé di e epoka aki, mi ta den e posishon di pidi un hòmber loke ami mes no por duna mi mes. Awendia mi mes ta paga mi resibunan, mi mes ta enkargá di mi kas i di mi bida, sin ayudo di un hende hòmber.

Esei ta ponemi den e posishon di hasi e pregunta aki: "Kiko ta loke abo komo hende hòmber por aporta kuné den mi bida?"

E hòmber a keda wak e ketu un ratu. Ela pensa mesora ku e muhé ta referiendo na plaka.

Mesora e muhé a kompronde e mirada di e homber ela bis'é: "Mi no ta referiendo na plaka, mi mester mas ku esei!" "Mi mester di un hòmber ku lo apoyá pa perfekshon den tur aspekto di bida".

E hòmber a krusa su brasanan ku e mes un mirada, i ela puntra e muhe pa splik’e mas.

E muhe a kontest’é: "Mi ta buska un hòmber ku ta apoyá pa e perfekshon mental, ami mester di un hende hòmber ku mi por kombersa kuné i ku ta alimentá i stimulá mi mentalmente. Mi no mester di un hòmber mentalmente simpel. Mi ta buskando un hòmber ku ta lucha pa e perfekshon spiritual, pasobra mi mester di un hòmber pa komparti mi fe den Dios. Mi no mester di un hòmber ku ta lucha pa e perfekshon finansiero, pasobra mi no mester ayudo finansiero. Mi mester di un hòmber sufisientemente sensibel pa komprendé mi, pa loke mi tin ku pasa den bida diariamente siendo un hende muhé, i tambe sufisientemente fuerte pa animá mi i no lagami kai. Mi ta buskando un hòmber ku mi por respetá, i pa mi ta su muhé mi mester respet'é. Mi no por ta sumiso na un hòmber ku no por drecha su mesun problemanan. Mi no tin ningun problema pa ta sumiso na un hòmber, pero simplemente e tin ku merese mi respèt. Mi no por yuda un homber ku no por yuda su mes."

Ora e muhe a kaba di papia, ela mira konfushon den e hòmber su wowonan.

E homber a respondé: "Bo ta pidiendo hopi".

E muhe a kontest’e: "Mi ta BAL Hopi".
