A nassrudin hodja tale

1. The sign of education
The wit and wisdom of Mullah Nasruddin never leaves him tongue-tied. One day
an illiterate man came to Mullah Nasruddin with a letter he had received.
"Mullah Nasruddin, please read this letter to me." Mullah Nasruddin looked
at the letter, but could not make out a single word. So he told the man. "I
am sorry, but I cannot read this." The man cried: "For shame, Mullah
Nasruddin! You must be ashamed before the turban you wear (i.e. the sign of
education)" Mullah Nasruddin removed the turban from his own head and placed
it on the head of the illiterate man, said: "There, now you wear the turban.
If it gives some knowledge, read the letter yourself."
