One day Nasreddin was noticed sitting by the road. He behaved rather strangely: sometimes he laughed, sometimes he became serious; sometimes he made some strange gestures, and then started laughing again. Those passing by came up to him and asked:
- Mulla, what amuses you so much?
“Funny stories,” he replied. — I tell myself funny stories.
Passers-by were surprised, but one of them asked:
“You get very serious from time to time.” Why?
- This happens when a story comes across that I have already heard.
