| 4. A Beautiful Dream |
One night, Nasreddin dreamt something very beautiful. When
he was sitting alone by the street, someone approached him. The man looked very
kind and rich. He gave a gold coin to Nasreddin. He gave one more and more
until there were nine coins. Then he stopped giving more coins.
Nasreddin knew that there was one more coin left in the
man’s hand. He said, “Please, give me the other coin so that I have ten coins.”
The man shook his head again. Nasreddin urged him, “Give me
one more, please. Give me one more!”
The man shook his head again. Nasreddin wanted to hit the
man. As he swung his hand, he woke up. He opened his hands. Of course, there
was no coin at all there. As soon as possible he closed his eyes and cried,
“All right, all right! You don’t have to give me more coins. Nine is enough.
Now give them back to me!”
