Lesson 219

1) The pot

Nasreddin borrowed a pot from his neighbour because he needed one for a feast. After the feast he brought it back with another small pot in it. "Your pot gave birth to a baby while it was with me," he said. Of course, the neighbour was very satisfied, and when Nasreddin came to borrow the big pot for another feast, he gladly / willingly gave it to him. That time, Nasreddin did not return the pot, so after a few days, the neighbour paid Nasreddin a visit. "What happened to my big pot?" he asked. "Why haven’t you brought it back yet?" "Oh, the big pot," said Nasreddin. "It died while it was with me." "Died," said the neighbour angrily. "But pots cannot die!" "Why do you say that?" Nasreddin replied. "When I said that your pot had a baby, you did not say that pots cannot give birth, did you?"

Lesson 217

3) Uncle Georg

Peter's uncle lived in the countryside. Once Peter visited him to spend a few weeks in his house. When they went for a walk or drove around and saw someone, his uncle always waved to that person. Peter was surprised and asked his uncle whether he knew everyone and where he had met them all. Uncle Georg shook his head. Peter was even more surprised and wanted to know why he then waved to them. "Well, Peter," answered his uncle, "When I wave to somebody and he knows me, he is satisfied, he continues his journey with a happier heart. But when I wave to somebody and he doesn’t know me, he is surprised thinking by himself, who I am and why I have waved to him. So he has something to think about during the trip, and his journey seems shorter to him. So I made everyone happy."
