Nasruddin and his donkey
One day , one of Mullah Nasruddin's friend came over and wanted to borrow his donkeyfor a day or two. Mullah, knowing his friend, was not kindly inclined to the request,
and came up with the excuse that someone had already borrowed his donkey. Just as
Mullah uttered these words, his donkey started braying in his backyard. Hearing the
sound, his friend gave him an accusing look, to which Mullah replied: "I refuse
to have any further dealings with you since you take a donkey's word over mine."
