Nasrudin
Decided to intermittently post some of my favourite Mulla Nasrudin stories.
For those unfamiliar with the wisdom of this incomparable wise-fool, Nasrudin is a folkloric figure throughout Turkey and the Middle East. Thousands of tales are in circulation about him and are told in tea-houses and gatherings all over the region.
It is said that contemplation of seven Nasrudin tales will provide enlightenment in the manner of a Zen koan - hasn’t worked in my case but they can also serve a dual purpose as jokes so I think it’s allright....
