It is Forbidden to Lie

The Sultan was told by his teacher that lying was a great crime and should be banned. So the Sultan ordered his executioner to the city gate and told him to ask each person entering the city why he was visiting and execute any who lied. Next morning, the Mullah stood in line to go to the market in the city. The executioner asked him on the penalty of death, “Why are you entering the city?”The Mullah replied, “I am going to be executed!”

That’s Right!

The Mullah was a judge and arbitrator in a dispute. First the advocate of the first side gave an eloquent discourse advancing his claims. The Mullah who had been listening intently agreed and said, “That’s right.” Next it was the other advocate’s turn and he was just as erudite. Once more the Mullah agreed adding, “That’s right.” His clerk listening to the
Mullah’s pronouncements commented, “They can’t both be right.” The Mullah agreed by saying, “That’s right!”

The death of the Mullah

One day the Mullah’s wife asked him when would be the end of the world and the last judgment day. The Mullah replied,” the end of the world and the last judgement day will be the day when I will die.”

Free Bread

The Mullah’s wife sent him to buy some bread. When the Mullah arrived at the bread shop, he saw a long line waiting to buy bread. He thought he would do something to get in front of the line. He shouted,”People, don’t you know the Sultan’s daughter is getting married tonight and he is giving away free bread?” The multitude ran toward the palace as the Sultan was generous to a fault and loved his daughter more than anyone. The Mullah was now in front of theline and was about to buy his bread when he thought to himself,”Mullah, you are truly a fool. All the citizens are getting free bread tonight and I am about to pay for it. So he ran to the palace and when he got there, was thoroughly
beaten by the disappointed people.
