RIGHT RIDING

When the Hodja was going out with his students, he sat on the donkey facing the tail. They asked him why and he explained: “As a teacher I must be in front of you. But if I face the front, I cannot see what you are doing behind me. Therefore, if I sit on the donkey this way, I can see you all quite easily.”

GRATITUDE One day, when the Hodja was working on his farm, a thorn penetrated his foot. “Dear God”, he said “thank you so much, what a blessing I didn't wear my new shoes.”

FAVOURITISM

Bigamy=ikiarvadlılıq At that time, the Hodja had two wives. They wanted to know whom the Hodja loved best. They asked him. “If we went in a boat on the lake, and it sank, whom would you save?”” The Hodja turned to his first wife and said: “You know how to swim dear, don't you?”

EMPTY HOUSE

One night the wife of the Hodja said: “Effendi, I heard somebody walking on the roof. I am sure that it's a thief who wants to enter the house.” But the Hodja didn't care about it. “First let him find something to steal. If he finds it, it will be easier to take it from his hands.” Bir gün Molla Nəsrəddinin arvadı dedi: "Molla, mən eşitdim ki,damda kimsə gəzir. Əminəm ki, bu evə girmək istəyən oğrudur" Amma Molla vecinə almadı: "Qoy birinci oğurlamağa nəsə tapsın. Əgər tapsa, onu əlindən almaq daha asan olacaq."
