One day a woman brought her little son to Nasreddin’s school and said:
- Scare him a little, because he no longer obeys me.
Nasreddin's eyes widened, he began to puff, jump up and bang on the table with his fists until the frightened woman fainted. After that, he jumped out of the room.
When he returned, the woman who had come to her senses told him:
“I asked you to scare the boy, not me!”
Mulla replied:
“Madam, fear has no favorites.” As you can see, I was scared myself. When danger threatens, it threatens everyone equally!
