Pay is good but task is impossible
Once a horse met a frog. The horse said, 'Take this message to a snake for me, and you can have all the flies which surround me.'
The frog answered, "I like the pay, but I cannot say that i can complete my task."
This is not my task
A shop, on which the Mulla was the only passenger, was caught in a typhoon. The captain and crew, having done all they could to save the ship, fell on their knees and started to pray for deliverance. The Mulla stood calmly by. The captain opened his eyes, saw the Mulla standing there, jumped up and cried:' Get down on your knees!" You, a devout man, you should be praying with us.' Nasrudin did not move. 'I am only a passenger. Everything pertaining to the safety of this ship is your concerns, none mine.'
