Nasreddin and a friend were walking along a dusty road when suddenly they became thirsty. They went to a teahouse, but it turned out that they only had enough money for one glass of milk. Nasrudin's friend said:
- Drink your half first, as I have some sugar and want to add it to my milk.
“Brother, add sugar now, and we will both taste sweet milk,” said the mullah.
- No, there is not enough sugar to make all the milk sweet.
Nasreddin went to the kitchen and came back holding a salt shaker in his hands.
“Listen, friend, I’ll drink my half with salt, and it’ll be enough for the whole glass.”
