The Story of Mullah Nasrudin

From time to time I am meeting with the stories about Mullah Nasrudin time and again. At the surface these are just a simple jokes but in fact they seem to be devices for changing the mind and allowing an insight into a  deeper nature of the reality.

Its a magical character so I am leaving you with this contagious fellow to entertain you.

Wrestling Dreams

One day, Nasrudin went to the local doctor and told him, "Every night for the past month and a half, I have dreamt dreams in which I have wrestling matches with donkeys."

The doctor gave Nasrudin an herb and said, "Eat this, and your dreams will go away."

"Can I start taking them tomorrow?" Nasrudin asked.

"Why?" the doctor inquired.

"Because I'm scheduled to wrestle in the championship match tonight," Nasrudin replied.

Donkey's Word

One day a neighbor called on Mullah.

"Mullah, I want to borrow your donkey."

"I'm sorry," Mullah said, "but I've already lent it out."

As soon as he had spoken, the sound of a donkey braying came from Mullah's stable.

"But Mullah, I can hear your donkey in there."

"Shame on you," Mullah said indignantly, "that you would take the word of a donkey over my word."

Tiger Powder

One day Mullah Nasrudin was sprinkling some powder on the ground around his house.

"Mullah, what are you doing?" a neighbor asked.

"I want to keep the tigers away."

"But there are no tigers within hundreds of miles."

"Effective, isn't it?" Mullah replied.

The Hole

Nasrudin was digging outside, and his neighbor asked him, "What are you working on?"

"Well," Nasrudin replied, "There's a lot of excess dirt on the road, so I'm digging a hole to bury it in."

"But what are you going to do with the dirt that you 're digging out of this new hole?" said the neighbor.

"Hey," Nasrudin replied, "I can't attend to every single detail."
