Mullah Nazruddin Stories – Mullah Gets a Cow

                                

One day, Mullah’s wife told him, “Let’s buy a cow so that we can have milk every day.”

Mullah replied, “ We don’t have enough space in our yard for my donkey and a new cow”.

But despite Mullah’s objection, his wife persisted until he finally gave in.

So he bought the cow – and just as he predicted, it crowded his beloved donkey in the barn. 
This prompted Mullah to start praying one night, saying, “Dear God, please kill the cow, so my wife can’t bother me about it anymore and so my donkey can live in peace.”

The next day, Mullah went into the barn and was dismayed to discover that his donkey was dead. He looked up and said, “God, I don’t mean to offend you or anything, but let me ask you this -  after all these years, do you mean to tell me that you still can’t tell the difference between a cow and a donkey.


The End.
