One day the Shiek Jal-bar startled his advisors with a strange question.
"If somebody pulled my moustache, what sort of punishment should be given to him?" he asked.
"He should be Whipped!" said one advisor.
"He should be Shot!" said another.
"He should be Hanged!" said a third.
"And what about you, Al-Kabar?" asked the Shiek. "What do you think would be the right thing to do if somebody pulled my mustache?"
"He should be given candy," said Al-Kabar.
"Candy?" gasped the other advisors.
Why did Al-Kabar gave such a strange answer to the Emperor's strange question?

Because he, himself, wanted to pull the Emperor's mustache...

maybe becoz Al-Kabar saw the Emperor's son or grandson pulling his (the Emperor's) mustache...

Maybe cause he was going to do that, and suggested candy!!! Or maybe he knew someone was going to do that and he didn't want that person to be punished! Or maybe he was crazy! Or maybe he was thinkin bout candy! Or maybe..... maybe.... I ran out of possible solutions!!! =(
