<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2833195, member: 88736&quot;]Coin related. </p><p><br /></p><p>--- </p><p><br /></p><p>In his dream some people gave the Hodja nine gold coins, but Hodja wanted ten. So he refused them. Suddenly he awoke and saw that his hands were empty. So he quickly closed his eyes again and said: It&#039;s okay, I&#039;ll take the nine coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>--- </p><p><br /></p><p>While Hodja was working as a judge, two men appeared in the court. One was the stingy cook, the other one was a poor man. The stingy cook started to speak first:</p><p>Hodja! I want to sue this man. I was cooking bean soup in front of my shop. The steam of the food was coming up from the side of the pot. This man came with a loaf of bread in his hand. He started eating chunks of bread by holding them in the steam coming from the pot. And in the end he ate the whole bread. I asked him to pay the money for the bean soup steam but he didn’t pay me.</p><p>Nasreddin Hodja listened to the cook carefully, then turned to the poor man and asked him:</p><p>Is that true?</p><p>Yes, said the poor man.</p><p>Then take your purse out.</p><p>The poor man couldn’t argue with Hodja. He handed over his purse to the Hodja which only had a few coins inside. Then Hodja called the cook near him. He held the purse close to the cook’s ear and started shaking the purse. Then he said:</p><p>There! You got what you asked for.</p><p>The cook asked confused:</p><p>How could this be possible? You haven’t given me my money yet.</p><p>Hodja replied:</p><p>Come on now, if you sell the steam of the food, then you are paid with the sound of the coins in return, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- </p><p><br /></p><p>When the Hodja was repairing the roof a man called him from below. </p><p>What do you want said the Hodja. </p><p>Come down for just a minute, he said. I&#039;ll tell you something! </p><p>The Hodja got down and the man said: Can you lend me some money? </p><p>Come, said the Hodja, for just a minute up above. </p><p>The man came with him onto the roof and the Hodja said: </p><p>I have no money! </p><p><br /></p><p>---</p><p><br /></p><p>The End.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- </p><p><br /></p><p>In (One Cent) Coin we Trust </p><p>(void where prohibited by law and void where no profited by boss.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
