Nasrudin’s tall tale
Nasrudin’s tall tale
text © Raj Arumugam, February 2008
Nasrudin was with the local drunks in the town inn.
Each drunk told a tall tale of the most improbable events and impossible happenings.
Everyone now turned to Nasrudin. Tell us an extraordinary thing about yourself! shouted a drunk.
Nasrudin smiled and he said: What is most amazing is that I am still just as strong as I was when I was young.
All the drunks laughed. Only drunks and fools will believe that kind of nonsense! We are neither drunks nor fools! they said.
Well, Nasrudin said. You all know that huge rock outside our town inn. You see, I couldn’t carry that huge rock when I was young - and you know what? - I still can’t carry it in my old age! So I’m still as strong just as when I was young!
