One day the mullah asked his wife to prepare a lot of halva and gave her everything she needed for this, and then ate almost all the halva.
In the middle of the night, the mullah woke up his wife.
— An important thought occurred to me.
- Which?
“Bring me the rest of the halva and I’ll tell you.”
The wife brought halva and repeated her question, but Nasreddin first dealt with the halva, and then said:
- It occurred to me that you should never go to bed before you have eaten all the halva that was prepared for the day.
