The moneylender was drowning. People running up to him shouted:
- Give me your hand, otherwise you will drown!
But he did nothing. Then Khoja Nasreddin came up, smiled and said:
- What are you doing? Where have you seen a moneylender give something? It needs to be like this...
And with these words he extended his hand to the moneylender.
- Hold your hand! - he said and, of course, saved the moneylender.
