Fehmi Pasha's servant Nasreddin Hodja |
Hodja was unemployed and poor but somehow he got little money to eat beans and pilaf at a cheap restaurant. He ate and examined walking people outside with the corner of the eye. He noticed a long, handsome swashbuckler (bully man) behind crowd. The Man was well dressed from head to foot, with velvet turban, silver embroidered vest, silk shirt, satin baggy-trousers and golden scimitar (short curved sword). Hodja pointed the man and asked restaurant keeper, - Who is that man over there! - He is Fehmi Pasha's servant, answered restaurant keeper. Hodja sighed from far away, looked at the sky and said: - Oh, my Good Lord! Look at that Fehmi Pasha's servant and look at your own servant, here. |
