Four Worthless Things on Earth
The most worthless things on earth are these four:
(a) rain on a barren soil;
(b) a lamp in sunshine;
(c) a beautiful woman given to a marriage to a blind man;
(d) and a good deed to one who is grateful
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.'
