One day Mulla was working in the garden. A young man came up.
- Tell me, where is Mulla Nasreddin’s house? he asked.
“That one on the left,” said Mulla. Soon the young man returned and said:
- It turns out that you are Mulla Nasreddin! - Yes, that's true.
- Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
“So you weren’t looking for me, but for my house,” Nasreddin answered.
