... all that noise woke up the city of Colatina.
Even very happy Zouain got angry with Stans, for he scared not only the city but also his wife Salime.

Jorge, Pedro e Paulo ( gêmeos ), Maurício, Amélia ( Hoje com 83 anos ) Ester, Maria, Rosa, Nabia, Janete ( esposa de Elie Zouein ), Angel e Leila.
Sua esposa Salime, Maria e Jorge já faleceram.

02 - Um fato curioso e engraçado aconteceu na década de 20, quando nasceu o primeiro filho homem ( Jorge ), depois de cinco mulheres ( Amélia, Ester, Maria, Rosa e Nabia ).
Era madrugada na cidade pequena de Colatina, quando Zouain Zouain, muito feliz com a chegada do primeiro filho homem, avisou ao seu irmão Stans sobre o nascimento do primeiro filho.
Stans não perdeu tempo e pegou o revolver e começou a atirar para o alto para comemorar o grande acontecimento, mas...
... todo aquele barulho acordou a cidade de Colatina.
Zouain mesmo muito feliz, brigou com o irmão por ter assustado não só a cidade mas também sua esposa Salime.
Ficaram sem se falar durante um mês, quando Zouain se arrependeu e fez as pazes dando ao irmão de presente um corte de tecido para fazer um terno, que foi o primeiro terno que Stans teve na sua vida.
