How Abu Hassan Broke Wind

Abu Hassan was a fairly well to do widower, he was still fairly young and all of his friends and family wanted him to remarry. Eventually he decided to comply with their wishes, and elaborate and elegant wedding was planned. Towards the end of the ceremony however when he had to bow he let loose with the loudest most horrendous fart ever heard on the planet. There was dead silence in the room and he ran out in humiliation. He ran and he ran until he ended up in a kingdom several kingdoms over. He was quite successful there and quickly amassed a new fortune, but he was homesick. Finally after seven years away from his home he decided to return. He walked along the familiar roads until finally he happened to come across an old woman and young girl were talking. The old woman was telling the girl how she was born the year Abu Hassan farted. When Abu Hassan heard that he quickly turned around back to his new home and never returned.
