One day Mulla Nasreddin loaded two baskets of grapes onto a donkey and went to the city. In the city, children pestered him:
- Mullah, give us grapes!
Mulla looked around the crowd.
“If I give it to you all,” he thought, “it will cost a pretty penny.”
And he gave the kids a tiny twig, three or four berries. The children made a noise saying:
— Efendi, that’s all?
“Listen,” said Mulla, “they have the same taste; The grapes in this basket and the ones in the other taste the same. Therefore, it makes no difference whether to eat a little or a lot.
