Fouad Abu Zahra

One of the many people I see daily is Mr. Fouad Abu Zahra.
This old man is about 70 years old and he owns the little corner shop near the school.
Everyday, the corner shop is our destination after school because the school cafeteria sells food at almost triple the price of normal shops. So to Abu Zahra's it is!

Mr. Fouad is always cranky. He always complains about how bad his life is. This is not a significat situation to be in because you have to aggree and play along with him. He also sucks at math. He seriously has a problem: he doesn't know how to count money.

Abu Zahra doesn't let students enter his shop because he suspects that they would steal. This is impossible because of how small his shop is. So because he thinks we'd steal, he lets us pick what to buy from outside the shop, so if you take long in trying to decide if you want Pepsi of chips, he gets grumpy and tells you that he wants to go back to eating his lunch...no comment.

Mr. Fouad Abu Zahra gets on my nerves.

Yes he gets on my nerves but at least he hasn't increased his prices, like anyone else that would do in his situation (aka monopoly).

He usually lets me into his shop but he's scared of Yazan and I don't know why.
