Deductive Reasoning

How old are you, mullah?
Someone asked,
‘three years older than my brother.’ mullah answered.
‘How do you know that?’ ‘reasoning. Last year, i heard my brother telling someone that i was two years older than him.
A year has passed.
This means that i am older by one year…i shall soon be old enough to be his grandfather.

More useful

One day mullah nasruddin entered his favorite teahouse and said: ‘the moon is more
useful than the sun’.
An old man asked ‘why mullah?’
nasruddin replied ‘we need the light more during the night than
during the day.’

When you face things alone

You may have lost your donkey, nasruddin, but you don’t have to grieve over it more than you did about the loss of your first wife.
Ah, but if you remember, when i lost my wife, all you villagers said:
we’ll find you someone else. So far, nobody has offered to replace my donkey.

Obligation

Nasruddin nearly fell into a pool one day.
A man whom he knew slightly was nearby, and saved him. After that, every time he met nasruddin, he would remind him of the service which he had
performed. When this had happened several times, nasruddin took him to the water, jumped in, stood with his head just above water and shouted:
“now i am as wet as i would have been if you had not saved me. Leave me alone!

Promises Kept

A friend asked the mullah how old are you?
Forty.Replied the mullah.
The friend said, but you said the same thing
two years ago.
Yes replied the mullah, i always stand by what i have said.
