Lesson 176

3) The donkey Once Nasreddin wanted to go to the market with six donkeys. After an hour, he was tired and sat on one of them. He counted the donkeys, and there were only five, so he got down, he wanted to find the sixth. He looked, and looked around, but couldn’t find it, so he went back to the donkeys and counted them again. There were six, so he got up and they rode on. After a few minutes, he counted the donkeys, and again there were only five. While he was counting, a friend of him came, and Nasreddin said to him, "I left home with six donkeys, then I had five, then six, and now I have only five. One, two, three, four, five." "But Nasreddin," said his friend, "you are sitting on a donkey, that is the sixth, and you are the seventh!"
