Exploite of Mulla Nasrudin book cover

Story from the Mulla Nasrudin Corpus

ONE MAN'S MEAT

Nasrudin came home from a carnival in a terrible state, his Arab fancy-dress ripped to ribbons.

'Mulla,' said a friend who was waiting for him, 'you look as if you have been beaten up!'

'I have, indeed.'

'But people don't beat others up for wearing fancy-dress!'

'How can you explain that to Kurds whom you meet on the road, looking for Arabs to beat up?'
