time there was a man who liked hunting very much. He often went to the forest
to hunt any animal he met.
One day he
went hunting into the forest. He intended to shoot any animal he saw. He
brought his gun with him. When he was searching for his pre, suddenly he saw a
bird perching on a branch of a tree. It was a dove. When he was aiming his gun
at the dove, suddenly an ant came and bit his foot. He was so startled that he
didn’t shoot the dove. It was safe and then flew away.
Several days
later, the dove was flying over a lake. He saw an ant floating on the surface
of the water. It was the ant that had saved the dove’s life from the hunter.

One day
Nasreddin borrowed a pot from his neighbour Ali. The next day he brought it
back with another little pot inside. “That’s not mine,” said Ali. “Yes, it is,”
said Nasreddin. “While your pot was staying with me, it had a baby.”
Some time
later Nasreddin asked Ali to lend him a pot again. Ali agreed, hoping that he
would once again receive two pots in return. However, days passed and Nasreddin
had still not returned the pot. Finally Ali lost patience and went to demand
his property. “I am sorry,” said Nasreddin. “I can’t give you back your pot,
since it has died.” “Died!” screamed Ali, “how can a pot die?” “Well,” said
