Story of Naseeruddin Hodja
One day, wife of Naseeruddin Hodja asked him to get 3 donkeys from the market of neighbouring town. Hodja agreed and went to town.
He bought 3 donkeys and with them he was walking towards his house. He felt pain in his legs and he sat on the back of one of the donkeys.
After that, he started to rode back to house. As his house was nearing, Hodja thought to count the donkeys just to make sure that he got the correct number of donkeys.
But he counted, it is only 2 donkeys ! He thought that one donkey must have got missed. He began to prepare himself for the lecture that his wife will give for getting only 2 donkeys.
His wife observed the uneasiness of her husband. After reaching the house, she inquired. Hodja said that he counted the donkeys, but there are only 2 while sitting on back of donkey.
His wife started to laugh. Puzzled Hodja asked for the reason. She said that she is seeing totally 4 donkeys now !
