One day Molla Nasreddin and his wife woke up late at night from noise coming from the next room. Molla tiptoed to the door and looked inside. He saw that thieves were in charge there.
“Lie quietly, wife,” Molla said in a whisper, “there are thieves there!”
- Lie quietly? Yes, the guard must scream and call for help!
“Shhh...” Molla hissed, “let them fuss, we have nothing anyway.” And when they get bored and leave, then we’ll see - what if they themselves forgot or lost something.
