One morning a neighbor asked the Mulla for a donkey. Mulla muttered:
- I'll go ask the donkey; If he wants it, I'll give it to him.
He went into the house and, after staying for a short time, returned and said: “I told the donkey, but he did not deign, and even added:
“If you give me to a stranger, they will poke a goad into my ears, and they will insult you in every possible way!”
