Once a renowned philosopher and\u00a0 moralist was traveling through Nasruddin’s village when he asked him where\u00a0 there was a good place to eat. He suggested a place and the scholar, hungry for\u00a0 conversation, invited Mullah Nasruddin to join him. Much obliged, Mullah Nasruddin accompanied the scholar to a nearby restaurant, where they asked the waiter\u00a0 about the special of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Fish!\u00a0 Fresh Fish! replied the waiter.a<\/span><\/p>\n

– Bring us\u00a0 two, they answered.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few\u00a0 minutes later, the waiter brought out a large platter with two cooked fish on\u00a0 it, one of which was quite a bit smaller than the other. Without hesitating, Mullah Nasruddin cooked the larger of the fish and put in on his plate. The\u00a0 scholar, giving Mullah Nasruddin a look of intense disbelief, proceed to tell him that what he did was not only\u00a0 blatantly selfish, but that it violated the principles of almost every known\u00a0 moral, religious, and ethical system. Mullah Nasruddin calmly listened to the philosopher’s extempore lecture\u00a0 patiently, and when he had finally exhausted his resources, Mullah Nasruddin said,<\/span><\/p>\n

– Well,\u00a0 Sir, what would you have done?<\/span><\/p>\n

– I, being\u00a0 a conscientious human, would have taken the smaller fish for myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

– And here\u00a0 you are, Mullah\u00a0 Nasruddin said, and\u00a0 placed the smaller fish on the gentleman’s plate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
