A Beautiful Dream

One day Nasreddin dreamt something very beautiful. When he was sitting alone by the street, someone approached him. The man looked very kind and rich. He gave a gold coin to Nasreddin. He gave one more and more until there were nine coins. Then he stopped giving more coins. Nasreddin knew that there was more one coin left in the man’s hand. He said, “Please, give me the other coin so that I have ten coins.” The man shook his head. But nasreddin urged him, “Give me one more please, Give me one more!”

The man shook his head again. Nasreddin want to hit the man. As he swung his hand, he woke up. He opened his hands. Of course, there was no coin at all there. As soon as possible he closed his eyes and cried, All right, all right! You don’t have to give me more coins. Nine is enough. Now give them back to me!”

Watch the Door

One day, when Nasreddin still young, his mother would have something to do putside. Before leaving, she said to Nasreddin, “Nasreddin, since you’re at home alone, you have to watch the door carefully. Don’t let anyone in.. There have been many thieves recently.”

Nasreddinm therefore, sat by the door. An hour later, his uncle came. “Where is your mother?” he asked. “She is out”, Nasreddin answered. “My family will be here altogether this evening.” As his uncle left, Nasreddin started thinking, “Mother told me to watch the door. Uncle asked me to find her and tell her that he would be here with the whole family.”

Having thought over and over, he finally made a decision. He pulled the door up, carried it, and went to meet his moth

Not finished Yet

Nasreddin felt that he was already old. He thought that he would die soon. So, he asked for someone to make a grave fir him. He promised to pay the man a certain amount of money when the work was finished. During the work, Nasreddin protested many things about the grave. But, at least the man finished the grave making. He asked for the money Nasreddin had promised him. Nasreddin said, “You cannot ask for the money now.”

“Why? You said that you would pay me as soon as I finish the grave.” asked the man. The grave is not complete yet,” said Nasreddin. “What else should I do to complete it. I’ve done everything, “said the man angrly.  “It’s not complete yet because the corpse is not there yet,”answered Nasreddin.

B4 It's Late

       It was a long dry season. Most wells were dry. So, Nasreddin asked his son to take some drinking  water from a natural fountain. He handed a jar to his son. After that, he hit his son's face and said, "Be careful, don't break the jar!" The boy cry and left. One of his neighbours knew the event. He felt a pity on the boy. He approached Nasreddin and said, "Nasreddin,Your son is a nice boy .Why do you hit him?" 

     "In order not to break the jar," Nasreddin answered. "you're not wise, Nasreddin. The jar is not broken, but you have hit your son." "You're wrong," Nasreddin answered, " If II hit him after his breaks the jar, as most people do, it would be every late. And it is no use to do something late."
