THE PLEASANTRIES OF THE INCREDIBLE MULLA NASRUDIN
I love these things… here are a few more!!!!!!!! lol
Description of the Goods:
Nasrudin lost a beautiful and costly turban.
‘Are you not despondent, Mulla?’ someone asked him.
‘No, I am confident. You see, I have offered a reward of half a silver piece.’
‘But the finder will surely never part with the turban, worth a hundred times as much, for such a reward.’
‘I have already thought of that. I have announced that it was a dirty old turban, quite different from the real one.’
Oh my that was soooo funny to me!! here is another
The Question Contains its Answer:
‘Tell me the truth.’ said Tamerlane to Nasrudin, as they sat in the steam-room of a Turkish bath.
‘I always do, Majesty,’ said the Mulla.
‘What am I worth?’
‘Five gold pieces.’
The king looked annoyed. ‘This belt which secures my bathing-trunks is worth just that.’
‘You are without value,’ said the Mullah, ‘and when you talk about “worth” I am forced to answer in terms of the question. If you are talking about money, I give you the exterior value-that of the belt. If you are talking about inner worth, it cannot be answered in words.’
AWWWWW such wisdom!!
