A passerby saw Nasreddin throwing money into the pond and asked him why he was doing this.
Nasreddin said:
— I was riding a donkey. He slipped and began to slide towards this pond, losing his balance and almost falling. It seemed that nothing could save us from falling. Suddenly the frogs in the pond began to croak. This frightened the donkey, he reared up and thus escaped. So shouldn't frogs get anything for saving our lives?
