Lesson 247

3) Take a bath

One day, when Nasreddin took his bath, he began singing. The bathroom was small and had a stone floor, so he thought that his song sounded very nice, that he sang very well, that he could sing for other people, that he could entertain other people and maybe become a famous singer, and then everyone in the world would want to listen to him. Therefore, after bathing, he went out to the flat roof of his house and began singing very loudly. But he did not really like the sound. A man was walking in the square in front of the house, and when he heard Nasreddin, he said, "What are you yelling for? You are making a terrible noise, nobody wants to hear it." "Oh really?" answered Nasreddin. "Well, I can sing very nicely, come into my bathroom and listen to me!"

Lesson 244

2) Nasreddin's wife, the cat and the fish

Nasreddin liked fish very much, and when having enough money, he went to the market, bought one for dinner, and brought it home. But when his wife saw the fish, she always thought by herself that she would that day invite her friends to eat fish because they liked fish. So the fish was never there when Nasreddin came home in the evening after work. Then his wife always said that his cat was a very bad animal and had swallowed it. And that was why Nasreddin repeatedly only got soup and rice for dinner. But one evening, when this happened again, Nasreddin got very angry. He took the cat and his wife to the store near his home and carefully weighed the cat. Then he turned to his wife and said, "My fish weighed two kilos, and this cat weighs two kilos too, my fish is here, you say, and where is my cat then?"

Lesson 241

1) Five euros

Three people walked down a street, first a tall man, then a pretty woman, and at the end an old man. The first two walked around a corner. Suddenly the old gentleman noticed a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. It was a five euro banknote. A few seconds later, the young woman came back crying because she had lost five euros. The kind-hearted old man showed her what he had found and gave it to her. The young woman thanked him and left. After a few seconds, the tall man came back looking for something. Suddenly a window opened and a small man looked out. "I saw five euros falling out of your pocket," he said, "but the old man gave it to a young woman." The tall man seemed to be very angry. The poor, old gentleman was scared and gave him five euros. When the old man had left, the young woman came back to receive her one euro sixty-seven cents, and the small man came out of the house to get his money.
