Nasreddin
was sitting by a window in his house one day in the middle of winter, when he
heard women outside crying. He put his head out of the window, and saw a lot of
people coming towards his house. They were carrying a dead man, and the women
were crying, ‘ Oh, why are you leaving us to go to a place without light and a
fire and without food? It will be dark there , and you will be cold and hungry.
Nobody will look after you, nobody will be kind to you, and nobody will love
you there!’
‘My
God!’ said Nasreddin to his wife. ‘They are talking about our house. They are
bringing the dead man here ! Quick, lock the door ! Don’t let him in !’
