मुल्ला नसरुद्दीन के किस्से व हास्य-रहस्य

CHAPTER 1. Mulla Nasrudin’s servant rushed into the room and cried, "Hurry your husband is lying unconscious in the hall beside a large round box with a piece of paper clutched in his hand." "HOW EXCITING," said Mulla Nasrudin’s wife, "MY FUR COAT HAS COME." 47. Mulla Nasrudin trying to pull his car out of a parking space banged into the car ahead. Then he backed into the car behind. Finally, after pulling into the street, he hit a beer truck. When the police arrived, the patrolman said, "Let’s see your licence, Sir." "DON’T BE SILLY," said Nasrudin. "WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD GIVE ME A LICENCE?" 48. The preacher was chatting with Mulla Nasrudin on the street one day. "I felt so sorry for your wife in the mosque last Friday," he said, "when she had that terrible spell of coughing and everyone turned to look at her." "DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT," said the Mulla. "SHE HAD ON HER NEW SPRING HAT." 49. The barber asked Mulla Nasrudin, "How did you lose your hair, Mulla?" "Worry," said Nasrudin. "What did you worry about?" asked the barber. "ABOUT LOSING MY HAIR," said Nasrudin. 50. "You sure look depressed," a fellow said to Mulla Nasrudin. "What’s the trouble?" "Well," said the Mulla, "you remember my aunt who just died. I was the one who had her confined to the mental hospital for the last five years of her life. When she died, she left me all her money. NOW I HAVE GOT TO PROVE THAT SHE WAS OF SOUND MIND WHEN SHE MADE HER WILL SIX WEEKS AGO." 51. "My grandfather," bragged one fellow in the teahouse, 'lived to be ninety-nine and never used glasses." "WELL," said Mulla Nasrudin, "LOTS OF PEOPLE WOULD RATHER DRINK FROM THE BOTTLE." 202 (Jokes of Mulla Nasrudin) 15 Osho
