Please, Eat, Coat !
One evening
Nasreddin was invited to a party. As a good neighbor, he surely would come to
the party. He chose the clothes that looked old. He chose it because it was his
favourite.
When he arrived
at the party nobody greeted and welcomed him. Even the host did not offer him
any seat. Then he went home quickly. He changed his old clothes with the new
and most beautiful ones. Then he went back to the party.
At that time
everybody was warm to him. Everybody greeted him with a nice smile. Even the
host offered him the best seat and table with the best food and drink.
Nasreddin sat
for a while and stood again. Suddenly he put off his clothes. There were only
underclothes left on his body. The other guests were very surprised. So was the
host.
He put the coat
on the food on the table. He said, “Please, eat, coat. It’s for you.”
The other
guests were wondering why he did so. One of them asked, “What are you doing,
Nasreddin? Are you crazy?”
“No, I’m all
right. I’m asking my coat to eat. Do you still remember, when I came here in
old clothes nobody greeted me. And the host didn’t offer me any seat or food.
But when I come with this beautiful coat now, everybody greets me warmly. The
host offers me the best food and drink. So, the host gives the food and the
drink to my coat, not to me,” he answered.
