Lesson 211

1) The roof Whenever it rained, water came through Nasreddin's roof. Therefore one day taking his ladder, he climbed onto the roof and began to repair it. It was a pretty difficult and dangerous job. While he was up there, he suddenly saw an old man in the street. This man waved to him and wanted Nasreddin to come down. Nasreddin could not imagine what had happened. So he quickly climbed down the ladder, slipped several times and almost broke his neck. When he had reached the bottom, the old man asked for a little money because he was very poor. Nasreddin was very angry, but asked the old man to come with him onto the roof. He helped the old man to climb the ladder. When they had reached the top Nasreddin said to him, "I am also a poor man, I have no money for you. And now go down alone! I won’t help you."
