Nasreddin did what his wife suggested him. He took a walk. But he still kept on walking even though he had been walking for more than two days. One of his neighbour met hem and asked him, “Why don’t you go home? I think you have been walking for two days, Nasreddin.”
“Would you help me?” said Nasreddin.
“Sure,” answered the neighbour.
“Ask my wife how far I should take a walk to get better,” said Nasreddin. ‘I have been very exhausted.”
Meanwhile Nasreddin kept on walking. The sun started in the middle of the street. He approached it and picked it up. It was a mirror. He examined it closely. He was curious why the owner discarded it. As a matter of fact, it was still good.
Then he looked into the mirror, he saw a face on the mirror. Of course, it was his own face but he did not think so. Suddenly he looked sad and disappointed.
He said, “This is a bad mirror. That is the reason why the owner discarded it here.”
Then he threw the mirror back to the street, and he walked away.
It was almost midday. He was very thirsty. A moment later he looked glad as he saw a water pipe across the street. He walked there. He found that the end of the pipe was closed with a piece of wood. Because he could not help being thirsty, he placed his open mouth in front of the end of the pipe and pulled the wood. The stream of the water inside was very strong. When Nasreddin opened it, the water sprayed toward his face so strongly that he fell backward. Then he put the wood back to the end of the pipe quickly.
“Oh, now I know why they closed you with the wood. Because you always hit every man very strongly so that they had to close you with the wood. Yeah, you never learn from experience,” Nasreddin said and walked away.
