3 Great Mullah Nasruddin Stories

Juts to get my writing and publishing juices flowing I am gonna share 3 Nasruddin stories with you

The Slap

One day, Nasrudin was walking down the street to work, when out of nowhere, a man came up to him and slapped him right in the face!

A surprised Nasrudin looked at the man.

The man looked back and, quickly realizing that he had mistakenly slapped the wrong man, turned red with embarrassment and immediately offered an apology.

Nasrudin, however, took the man to court.

After explaining his case to the Judge, the Judge made his ruling:

"I hereby order the plaintiff to slap the defendant in the face."

Nasrudin, however, did not accept; and the Judge, about to lose his patience with Nasrudin, changed the verdict:

"I hereby order the defendant to pay the plaintiff twenty dollars."

Nasrudin accepted, but the man said that he had to go home to get the money and bring it back.

Half an hour later, however, the man had yet to return; and Nasrudin couldn't wait any longer.

He went up to the Judge, slapped him in the face, and said, "I am running late and must go, so please accept the twenty dollars on my behalf."

Tool Repairman

Nasrudin took his tools to a repair shop one day. When he went to pick them up the following day, the repairman said, "Unfortunately, they were stolen."

The next day he told his friend about this, and the friend said, "I bet the repairman stole your tools. Go back there and demand that he return them."

"I cannot do that," Nasrudin said. "I am avoiding him."

"Why?" the friend asked.

"Because I still owe him money for my tool repairs," replied Nasrudin.

Train Ticket

Nasrudin was about to board a train, and the conductor asked him for his ticket.

Nasrudin began looking through his pants pockets, but he couldn't find it.

"One moment," he said. "I know I brought it."

He searched his bag, and still couldn't find it. He then searched the floor around him, and the missing ticket still eluded him. He even began looking in his socks, but alas, the money was not found.

As the conductor watched this, he asked, "Why don't you check that pocket on your shirt? That's usually where most people put their ticket."

"Oh, I can't look there," Nasrudin replied.

"Why not?" the conductor asked.

Nasrudin explained, "Because if I do and I find out it is not there, then I would have no hope at all of finding it!"
