Mulla Nasrudin
Bio
The Mulla’s Tomb
Incomplete
Nasrudin’s Will
Old graves for new
Just in case
Head and Heels
Not my business to know
Last year’s nests
Truth
Nobody really knows
The King spoke to me
The Mulla’s dream
Nosebags and donkeys
The question contains its answer
Instinct
Fire
Tie up below!
Private Property
Economic law
How far is enough?
Catch your rabbit
Pity the poor natives
Raw Material
Seven with one stroke
Try anything once
At the frontier
Battle of the sexes
Maximum capacity
The Secret
Appetite
The Physician
Not worth keeping
Why shouldn’t they mourn?
All included
The Daughters
Why ask me?
A penny less to pay
Life and death
Anyone can do it that way
Where I sit
Pyramid expert
What is it all for?
The milkman’s horse
Which way round?
Limits of perception
On his own
Later than you think
Even fire
Waiting for the yeast to rise
All in my wife’s name
A matter of time, not place
The Burglar
The smell of a thought
The Karkorajami
We come and we go
Just for the asking
What will he find?
It is what he says that counts
Why?
The Genius
Let it be wheat
Deductive reasoning
Mistaken identity
Invisible extension
Clairvoyance
The School
Allah will provide
Eggs
In the mosque
I did not start it
Louder than an ox
The Speculator
What is above and what is below…
The Announcement
Perhaps there is a road up there
Altruism
No time to waste
Anachronism
How long is too long?
Or else…
When to worry
The value of a desire
The Change
The omen that worked
Never miss a bargain
Repetitiousness
Not as easy as it seems
Not to be taken away
Facts are facts
The dog at his feet
Good News
Once bitten
The Logician
What is to be
Prayer is better than sleep
The Chicken
Don’t run away with the idea…
The Merchant
Guess what?
Take no chance
The value of truth
Aren’t we all?
A question is an answer
Science
A word for it
Hot soup, cold hands
The spiritual teacher
The high cost of learning
The Reward
Ask me another
Refutation of the Philosophers
Remembering
The Yogi, the Priest and the Sufi
Give him time
The gold, the cloak and the horse
Why camels have no wings
Ladder for sale
It appears to be thou!
I believe you are right!
How far can you usefully be from the truth?
Nobody complains
Objectivity
Behind the obvious
What is real evidence?
Dry in the rain
The roles of Man
When you face things alone
Too-obvious principles
Congratulations
Face the facts
Learn how to learn
Which is my half?
More useful
Description of the goods
The burden of guilt
That’s why they bunged it up
Cause and effect
How foolish can a man be?
Avoid entanglement
Strange that you should ask…
Just as well I came along
Man bites dog — that’s news
There is a different time-scale
Fixed ideas
Obligation
Not so difficult
Forgotten himself
Both, Your Majesty!
The Hunt
The Exploit
A great thought
If Allah wills it
Idiots
The Answer
Inscrutable Fate
Whose servant am I?
Tit for tat
Alternate crop
Just suppose…
Assumptions
Prudence
Why don’t you?
The use of a light
Eating his money
The Reason
