Nine months journey in seven days

The Hodja's first wife had recently died. The state of single blessedness was not to Hodja's taste. So he decided to marry again. With some help from his neighbours he had no difficulty in finding a suitable widow.
Exactly seven days after the wedding the woman gave birth to a baby. Hodja immediately ran to the market, bought some paper, pencils, books and on his return put these objects beside the newborn baby. His wife seemed surprised and asked :
- But Effendi, surely the baby won't have any use for these things for a long time yet! Why the hurry?
- You are mistaken my dear, replied Hodja. A baby that arrives in seven days instead of nine months, is sure to need these things in a couple of weeks at most.
