The attendants saw his shabby clothes and said, "This man will never be able to pay us well, so why should we bother to perfume the towels or use hot water?" They gave him the most cursory of baths, and provided him with dirty torn towels.<BR/><BR/>Despite the lousy service, the Hoca paid each attendant a gold coin. They were quite surprised at this, and excitedly invited him to come back again.<BR/><BR/>The next week, the Hoca came to the hamam again, and this time he was received very well. He got a full bath and massage with hot water, and clean fluffy perfumed towels.<BR/><BR/>When he was ready to go, he left a single copper coin for the attendants to share. One chased after him, "What's the matter Hoca? Were you not pleased with today's service? Last week you paid us very well..."<BR/><BR/>"Oh, last week I paid for this week's service. Today I paid for last week's service."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-52963562245756062542008-10-31T22:20:00.000+00:002008-10-31T22:20:00.000+00:00Ardent, Sean they are such delightful and funny s...Ardent, Sean they are such delightful and funny stories aren't they?jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-12020797405213282922008-10-31T22:01:00.000+00:002008-10-31T22:01:00.000+00:00Ha ha ha ha har har hardly can't stop laughing ......Ha ha ha ha har har hardly can't stop laughing ...<BR/><BR/>Nasreddin's like medicine ... without adverse effects, though.Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-42378306805821512452008-10-31T20:24:00.000+00:002008-10-31T20:24:00.000+00:00I love Nasreddin stories.
