,,,,And so, many years later , the (corrupt) king who (interfered) in the government's business left, and there came the (free) officers who loved their country dearly. And indeed so dearly that their Boss inserted an officer in every department of the state to inspect the work of the minsters.
One of those was officer Gamal Salem who went one day unexpected to the ministry of agriculture, and there the above scene takes place.
Gamal Salem visited the ministry at the very early morning when the minster himself was still not there. Clerks of the minster's office were however in Salem's service as he ordered every document and file to be brought to him to be inspected. For hours he pretended to go through the documents , criticising the work of the minister loudly every now and then, though he did not understand anything at all,,,,the man had no clue about agriculture!
At 11 AM the minster came finally to find, in the middle of chaos in his office , Gamal Salem setting on his own chair. The later pointed to the minster to set down and continued to look into the documents in front of him for some minutes,,,until he exploded suddenly shouting at the minster: Are you going to set down here so useless! Go find something to do or somewhere to set down!
The minster panicked, left the room and took his place in the secretary office,,,where he stayed forever as the secretary of Gamal Salem, the first man in the ministery.
But then, after all, everyone was happy, because the (corrupt) king who (interfered) in the government's business was gone!
