"Tigers eat people, that's true, right? Yes, of course. So what's the point of whether this tiger ate a person or not? What can I say, I sat there looking foolish. Uncle said, "Listen, young man and woman fall in love, just as that’s true, this story is just as true! But since you’re a fool, let me explain. While I was in Kabul, I had an acquaintance with a Kabul woman. She used to bring milk to my house every morning. She was 80 years old!" Maybe uncle added this extra detail just to dispel my surprise, "Nephew, increase your imagination, increase it!""
