Riding a Donkey Backwards
Wise and Foolish Tales of Mulla Nasruddin
Would you like to know how a thief can turn into a donkey?
Whether a cow can climb a pole?
Or why you should spoon yogurt into a lake?
Mulla Nasruddin knows all the answers, and he might also tell you why he rides his donkey backwards. Whether in the guise of an imam in a mosque or a beggar in the street, this trickster is never at a loss for a rejoinder, though it may leave you scratching your head, rolling your eyes, or laughing out loud.
