Funny Story -
Mulla Nasruddin and Speech
Once, the people of the city invited Mulla Nasruddin to
deliver a speech. When he got on the pulpit (Minbar), he found the audience was
not very enthusiastic, so he asked: "Do you know what I am going to
say?" The audience replied "NO", so he announced: "I have
no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about"
and he left.
The
people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time when
he asked the same question, the people replied "YES", So Mulla
Nasruddin said, "Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I
won't waste any more of your time" and he left.
Now
the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once
again invited the Mulla to speak the following week.
Once again he asked the
same question - "Do you know what I am going to say?"
Now the people
were prepared and so half of them answered "YES" while the other half
replied "NO".
So Mulla Nasruddin said: "The half who know what I
am going to say, tell it to the other half" and he left!
