Nasreddin gave the boy a jug and told him to go to the well for water. But before the boy had time to take a step, Nasreddin slapped him on the head and shouted:
- Just try to drop it!
The passer-by couldn't stand it:
- How can you beat an innocent child? After all, he didn't do anything wrong!
“Do you think it’s better for me to hit him AFTER he breaks the jug and as a result there is no jug and no water?” Now he will remember that he needs to save both the jug and the water,” Nasreddin answered.
