One day Mulla Nasreddin caught his calf and wanted to caress it. But the calf started kicking and ran away, and no matter how hard Mulla tried, he could not catch it. Exhausted, he grabbed a stick and began to beat the cow.
- What is her fault, this cow? - they asked him.
“She’s the one to blame for everything.” If the cow had not taught him, would a six-month-old calf know how to kick and be stubborn? - answered Mulla Nasreddin.
