Lesson 236

3) Nasreddin and the rain

One day, when Nasreddin was on the way, he came to a village. The people there said to him it had not rained for three months and they had run out of water, that their maize was going to wither away. They asked him to help them and pray for rain. Nasreddin wanted to help these poor people, so he asked for a bucket of water. There was very little water in the village, but each family gathered a bit and they filled a bucket. Then Nasreddin took off his shirt and started washing it. The people were outraged and angry. "The water was for our children to drink, and you wash your shirt in it!" But Nasreddin said, "Wait!" He hung up his shirt to dry and suddenly it started to rain. "I have only one shirt," he told the surprised people, "and whenever I wash it and hang it to dry, it immediately starts to rain."

2) Nasreddin and the dead

One winter, Nasreddin was sitting by the window of his house when he heard women crying in the street. He stuck his head out of the window and saw a lot of people coming to his house. They carried a dead man on a stretcher and the women cried, "Oh, why are you leaving us to go to a place without lights, fire and food? It's going to be dark there, and you'll be cold and hungry, nobody will take care of you, nobody will be nice to you, and nobody will love you there!" "My God," said Nasreddin to his wife. "They are talking about our house, they bring the dead here! Quick, lock the door, do not let them in!"

Lesson 230

1) Nasreddin and the door

Once, when Nasreddin was still a boy, his mother left the house to go shopping. Before she left, she told him to stay by the door all the time and watch it constantly, because there were a lot of thieves in town. Nasreddin sat down next to the door observing it. After an hour one of his uncles came to ask where his mother was. Nasreddin told him she was shopping at the market. The uncle announced he would visit her that evening and Nasreddin should seek his mother to tell her. Nasreddin thought for a long time how to solve the problem. Finally, he lifted the door from its hinges, took it on his back, and went to look for his mother.
