The Guest of Honor

On my twitter's bio, i wrote like this: " I'm nobody. nobody's perfect. am i perfect?? ;p "
It's written because i was inspired by this lovely story: The Guest of Honor (The Stories of Nasruddin Hoja).

Nasruddin entered a formal reception area and seated himself at the foremost elegant chair.
The Chief of the Guard approached and said, "Sir, those places are reserved for guests of honor"
"Oh, I am more than a mere guest", replied Nasruddin confidently.
"Oh, so you are a diplomat ?"
"Far more than that"
"Really? So you are a minister, perhaps?"
"No, bigger than that too"
"Oho! So you must be the King himself, Sir", said the Chief sarcastically.
"Higher than that"
"What?! Are you higher than the King?! Nobody is higher than the King in this village!"
"Now you have it. I am nobody!", said Nasruddin.
