One day a neighbor asked the Mulla for a donkey.
“I don’t,” Nasreddin answered.
And at this time the donkey brayed. Then the neighbor remarked:
- Effendi, you say that you don’t have a donkey, but you hear the donkey braying.
Mulla shook his head and said:
“Lord my God, you are a wonderful man, you believe the donkey, but you don’t believe me, who lived to see a gray beard.”
