Why don’t you ?

Nasrudin went to the shop of a man who stocked all kinds of bits and pieces.
‘Have you got nails?’ he asked.
‘Yes.’
‘And leather, good leather?’
‘Yes.’
‘And twine?’
‘Yes.’
‘And dye?’
‘Yes.’
‘Then why, for Heaven’s sake, don’t you make a pair of boots?’

When to Worry

Nasrudin’s donkey was lost. Everyone helped him to search the neighbourhood. Someone said: ‘You don’t seem at all worried. You realize, do you not, that your donkey may never be found?’ Nasrudin said: ‘You see that hill, yonder? Nobody has looked there yet. If they don’t find it there, then I’ll start worrying.’

Forgotten himself

Nasrudin called at a castle to collect for charity. ‘tell your master’, he said to doorkeeper, ‘that Mullah Nasrudin is here and asks for money.’ The man went into the building, then came out again. ‘I am afraid that my master is out, ‘he said. ‘Let me give you a message for him, then,’ said Nasrudin. ‘Even though he has not contributed he can have this advice, free. Next time he goes out he should not leave his face at the window. Someone might steal it

Idiots

Carrying home a load of delicate glassware, Nasrudin dropped it in the street. Everything was smashed. A crowd gathered.

‘What’s the matter with you, idiots?’ howled Nasrudin. ‘Haven’t you ever seen a fool before?’

If God wills it

Nasrudin had saved up to buy a new shirt. He went to a tailor’s shop, full of excitement. The tailor measured him and said: ‘Come back in a week, and if God wills - your shirt will be ready.’ Nasrudin contained himself for a week and then went back to the shop. ‘There has been a delay. But - if God wills - your shirt will be ready tomorrow.’ The following day Nasrudin returned. ‘I am sorry,’ said the tailor, ‘but it not quite finished. Try tomorrow, and - if God wills - it will be ready.’ ‘How long will it take’, asked the exasperated Nasrudin, ‘if you leave God out of it?’

*

Why ask me?

Nasrudin was riding along one day when his donkey took fright at something in its path and started to bolt. As he sped past them at an unaccustomed pace some countrymen called out: ‘Where are you going, O Nasrudin, so fast?’ ‘Don’t ask me,’ shouted Nasrudin, ‘ask my donkey!’

A penny less to pay

Sitting near some stepping-stones across a river, Nasrudin saw that ten blind men wanted to cross the stream. He offered to help them over for a penny each. They accepted and he started to take them across. Nine were safely delivered to the further bank. But, as he was making his way with the tenth, the unfortunate man tripped and was carried away by the flood. Sensing something amiss the nine survivors began calling out: ‘What happened, Nasrudin?’ ‘A penny less to pay, ‘said Nasrudin.

Not worth keeping

Seeing something glittering in the gutter, Nasrudin ran to pick it up. It was a metal mirror. Looking at it closely, he saw his face reflected in it. ‘No wonder it was thrown away - nothing as ugly as this could possibly appeal to anyone. The fault is in me, for I picked it up without reasoning that it must be something unpleasant.’

*******

Assumptions

What is the meaning of fate, Mulla?’
‘Assumptions.’
‘In what way?’
‘You assume things are going to go well, and they don’t - that you call bad luck. You assume things are going to go badly and they don’t - that you call good luck. You assume that certain things are going to happen or not happen - and you so lack ituition that you don’t know what is going to happen. You assume that the future is unknown.
‘What you are caught out - you call that Fate.’
