A Mullah Nasruddin / Nasreddin Hoca story
The Prophet’s Traditions
When one of young Nasruddin’s brothers died, his mother told him, “Go now and buy a shroud, and some balm!”
However, the boy replied, “I won’t go — send someone else!”
She asked him why he would not go. He said, “I’m afraid I’ll miss the funeral!”
