Donkey's word Nasreddin Hodja |
One day a neighbor called on Molla. "Molla, I want to borrow your donkey." "I'm sorry," Molla said, "but I've already lent it out." As soon as he had spoken, the sound of a donkey braying came from Molla's stable. "But Molla, I can hear your donkey in there." "Shame on you," Molla said indignantly, "that you would take the word of a donkey over my word." |
