An Arab was admitted in the Lilavati Hospital at Mumbai 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 the neighboring
states.
Finally a Gujarati was located who had a similar type of blood. The
Gujarati willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery,
the Arab sent the Gujarati as appreciation for giving his blood, a
new BMW
540iL, diamonds, lapis lazuli jewelry, and half a million US
dollars.
Once again the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery. His
doctor telephoned the Gujarati who was more than happy to donate his blood
again.
After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Gujarati a thank you card
and a box of almond halwa sweets. The Gujarati was shocked to see
that the arab this time did not reciprocate the Gujarati's kind gesture as he
had anticipated.
He phoned the Arab and asked him "This time also I thought
that u would give me Toyota Prado, Diamonds and Jewelry. But u gave
only a card and a box of almond sweets.
To this the Arab replied "Can't help it, Bapu..... Now I have Gujju
blood in my veins!!
