 Describe a character in the context of a humorous story. 
 زياد كان رجلًا عجوزًا متشائمًا لم يبتسم أبدًا. كان يزعجه أدنى اضطراب ويمكن أن يستنزف حتى أكثر الجيران الحماسة. لكنه كان فضوليًا بشكل عميق ، وفي بعض الأحيان كان يجمع أطفال الحي حوله ويحكي لهم قصصًا عن مغامراته. لقد أدرك أصدقاؤه مؤخرا أنه على الرغم من سوء مزاجه ، إلا زياد كان دائماً مضحك جداً و بشكل دائماً ينشر الضحك بين أقرانه.
 John was a grumpy old man who never smiled. He was annoyed by the slightest disruption and could wear out even the most enthusiastic of neighbors. But he was also deeply curious, and he would sometimes gather the neighborhood children around him and tell stories about his adventures. His friends soon realized that despite his grumpiness, John's sense of humor was as sharp as a whip, often leaving them in fits of laughter.
