The Obedient Ascetic

In the marketplace, Mullah Nasruddin was teaching his followers how to live by their wit, wisdom and foresight. He told them that those who heeded his words would be happy in life. A wandering ascetic in the audience grew irritated that everyone was looking on with open-mouthed admiration at such a simpleton. So he shouted from the crowd: “They listen to you for the one-eyed is king in the land of the blind. But I can tell you one thing: Here is one man you cannot move with cunning words. And even less will I obey a fool like you!”
