Miracle Nasreddin Hodja |
Joking with Nasreddin Hodja by his friends has never ended. One day, some people of Aksehir teases by asking -Hodja, it is said that you have an exalted position among Muslim saints. Is it real? Of course, he had no such a claim but he replies since he was asked once; -Probably it must be so. -Such persons prove themselves to everybody by showing their miracles from time to time. So, since you accepted, show a miracle and lets see! asks people. -All right, lets do a trick, says Hodja and addressing the plane tree in front of him; -Hello great plane tree, come quickly near me!... Of course, no tree comes or goes. Hodja walks toward the tree and stays there. The people of Aksehir says; -Hodja, what happened, you were unable to bring the tree but you went there! as they were laughing at him, -We aren't haughty, says the Hodja, if a mountain doesn't walk, saint-like person walks. |
