Dying Utensil!

                                              Dying Utensil
Mulla Naseeruddin is known for his quick wisdom. Here is a story on that.
Naseeruddin was having a troublesome neighbour. Naseeruddin didnt know how to teach him a lesson. But one day , he thought of an idea.
One day morning , Naseeruddin went to his neighbour's house and requested him to lend a utensil for the cooking as guests are coming to his house. Neighbour gladly gives an utensil to Naseeruddin urging him to return it by tomorrow. Next day , as promised, Naseeruddin returns the uensil . But to neighbour's surprise , it contained a small vessel in it. Neighbour asked  Naseeruddin for the reason. Naseeruddin replied "Utensil gave birth to another vessel." Neighbour didnt say anything to that. But he was happy to receive another vessel.
After 1 week, Naseeruddin again comes to neighbour's house asking for utensil. This time, neighbour gives a bigger utensil to Naseeruddin hoping that this time also , he will receive another vessel. Naseeruddin went to his house. But he didnt return the utensil. Days passed . No sign of utensil. Disturbed by this , neighbour asks Naseeruddin for the reason.
Naseeruddin replied "The utensil died! ". Neighbour could not believe his ears. How can an utensil die? He said the same thing to Naseeruddin. At that time, Naseeruddin replied "If the utensil can give birth , why cant it die? It has died. " For this, neighbour had no answer. Thus, Naseeruddin teaches troublesome neighbour a good lesson that he will never forget!
