One day Mulla Nasreddin says to his wife:
- Go and get some cheese. It strengthens the stomach and stimulates the appetite.
“We don’t have cheese at home,” the wife answered.
“That’s good, cheese upsets the stomach and relaxes the gums,” said Mulla.
The wife asked in surprise:
-Which of these two opposing judgments is correct?
“If there is cheese in the house, then the first, if not, then the second,” Nasreddin answered.
