Whose Rooster Is It? – A Tale of Twisted Logic
In
a small village where gossip traveled faster than the wind, Nasruddin’s rooster
was well-known for its early morning crowing. Every dawn, the bird would perch
on Nasruddin’s roof and announce the arrival of the sun. 🌞🐔
One
day, the rooster went missing. After hours of searching, Nasruddin discovered
his beloved bird in the hands of his neighbor, Karim.
“Karim,
that’s my rooster!” Nasruddin exclaimed. “Give it back at once!”
Karim
smirked, shaking his head. “Your rooster? No, Khoja. This is my rooster. He
wandered into my yard, so now he’s mine.”
The
villagers gathered, eager to see how Nasruddin would handle the situation. They
knew he had a knack for turning logic upside down.
Nasruddin
stroked his beard and smiled. “Ah, Karim, you’re right. If something wanders
into another’s possession, it belongs to them.”
Karim
puffed up his chest, feeling victorious. “Exactly!”
“Then,”
Nasruddin continued, “by your own reasoning, if I were to wander into your
house tonight and sleep in your bed… would that make me the owner of your
home?” 🏠🤔
The
villagers burst into laughter. Karim’s face turned red as he realized the trap
Nasruddin had set.
“That’s
not the same!” Karim protested.
“Oh,
but it is,” Nasruddin said with a grin. “Logic must be consistent, my friend.”
Feeling
the weight of the villagers’ amused gazes, Karim sighed and handed the rooster
back.
Nasruddin bowed dramatically and walked away, his rooster happily clucking behind him. The villagers cheered, knowing they had just witnessed another classic example of Nasruddin’s unmatched wit. 👏
