| 2. Not Finished Yet |
Nasreddin felt that he was already old. He thought that he
would die soon. So, he asked for someone to make a grave for him. He promised
to pay the man a certain amount of money when the work was finished.
During the work, Nasreddin protested many things about the
grave. But, at last the man finished the grave making. He asked for the money
Nasreddin had promised him.
Nasreddin
said, “You cannot ask for the money now.”
“Why?
You said that you would pay me as soon as I finish the grave.” Asked the man.
“The
grave is not complete yet.”, said Nasreddin.
“What
else should I do to complete it? I’ve done everything.”, said the man angrily.
“It’s
not complete yet because the corpse is not there yet.”, answered Nasreddin.
