Mullah Nasruddin

A neighbor who Nasruddin didn't like very much cameover to his
compound one day. The neighbor asked Nasruddin if he could borrow his
donkey. Nasruddin not wanting to lend his donkey to the neighbor he
didn't like told him, "I would love to loan you my donkey but only
yesterday my brother came from the next townto use it to carry his
wheat to the mill to be grounded. The donkey sadly is not here."
The neighbor was disappointed. But he thanked Nasruddin and began to walk away.
Just as he got a few steps away, Mullah Nasruddin's donkey, which was
in the back ofhis compound all the time, let out a big bray.
The neighbor turned to Nasruddin and said,"Mullah Sahib, I thought you
told me that your donkey was not here.
Mullah Nasruddin turned to the neighbor and said, "My friend, who are
you going to believe? Meor the donkey?
One day Nasruddin repaired tiles on theroof of his house. While
Nasruddin was working on the roof, a stranger knocked the door.
- What do you want? Nasruddin shouted out.
- Come down, replied stranger So I can tell it.
Nasruddin unwilling andslowly climbed down theladder.
- Well! replied Nasruddin,what was the important thing?
- Could you give little money to this poor old man? begged stranger.
Tired Nasruddin started to climb up the ladder and said,
- Follow me up to the roof.
When both Nasruddin and beggar were upside,on the roof, Nasruddin said,
- The answer is no!
Nasruddin opened abooth with a sign above it: Two Questions On Any

A man who had two veryurgent questions handed over his money, saying:
- A hundred silver coins is rather expensive for two questions, isn't it?
- Yes, said Nasruddin, and the next question, please?
