No need to come		Pack-saddle instead of overcoat
Nasruddin's wife developed a severe abdominal pain. He left his house to bring a doctor. When he was in the street, his wife called him through the window and said that her stomach pain disappeared and there is no need for the doctor. Nasruddin didn't listen to her and went to the doctor's house and told him, "My wife had a severe abdominal pain. Whiel i was coming to call you, my wife shouted through the window and siad that her pain subsided and there was no need to bring the doctor, therefore, I came to inform you that there is no need for you to come.		Once Nasruddin was passing through a desert along with his donkey. He needed to make an ablution. He took off his overcoat, put it on the back of his donkey and went towards a stream to make ablution. A thief was passing by. He stole the overcoat. On return Nasruddin couldn't see the overcoat, instead, he took the saddle-pack on his shoulder and addressed the donkey, "Whenever you return my overcoat, i will give you your saddle-pack".
Nasruddin's sadness		Days in this city
Nasruddin's wife died but it hardly affect him. Even he didn't look sad. But when his donkey died, Nasruddin was very sad for several days. His comrads who always wanted to be happy gathered around him to sympathise, so they said, "May you be in good health, don't worry about the materials?" on of them asked, Your wife died recently and you didn't feel so sad, but why so much grief-stricken you are for the donkey?" Nasruddin answered, "When my wife died all the neighbors sympathized with me by telling me that they would find a better one for me, but when my donkey died, no one made such a promise".		Nasruddin went to a city and was walking in the streets. Some one asked him, "What is the day today?" He said, "I have recently come to this city, so far I am not accustomed to the days here. You'd better ask a resident of this city".
The fire		On the right
One afternoon when Nasruddin was very hungry. he started swallowing out of a hot pot. His throat, gullet and stomach were burnt. He stood up and started running. They asked "why are you running?" "Please get some water soon, and pour it on my body because a fire has started in my stomach". said Nasruddin.		A guest came to Nasruddin's house. At night he developed an urge for urination. He saw Nasruddin awake and asked him, "Please give me the lantern. It is on your right." Nasruddin said, "You are mad, it is too dark for me to recognize my right and left hand.
Nightingale with an unpleasant tune		Nawoozobillah
Once Nasruddin went to a garden and climbed on apricot tree. The gardener observed this and asked him, “Why did you climb someone else’s tree?” Nasruddin answered, “Don’t you know I am nightingale and for nightingales climbing a tree is not a sin.” The gardener laughed and said, “Please sing so I listen and enjoy.” Nasruddin started to sing in his horse voice. The gardener asked him whether nightingale sang so badly. Nasruddin replied, “A nightingale which eats raw apricot will not sing better than this.”		Once a king consulted Nasruddin. “Daring the Abasis and after, khalifs used to add the term “Allah" after their names. What title do you think I should choose for myself? Nasruddin answered “Nawoozobillah” (God forbid).
Lack of etiquettes		Because of lack of time
Nasruddin went to a judge’s office to divorce his wife. The judge asked him, “What is your wife’s name?” He answered. “I don’t know.” “For how many years havd you remained as spouses?” The judge asked again. He said “More than 20 years”. The judge asked him. “How come you don’t know her name?” Nasruddin answered, “Because I did not have any social relations with her.”		Once a person slapped Nasruddin in the street. Later he came hack and started to apologize and said that he had mistaken Nasruddin for some one else. But Nasruddin was not satisfied and took tight hold of his collar, took him to the judge and told the judge about the incident. The judge ordered, “Nasruddin must slap that person to avenge. But Nasruddin didn’t get satisfied. Thus the judge ordered the person to give Nasruddin a gold coin in lieu of the slap. The accused had to go out of the court to bring the gold coin. Nasruddin waited for sometime. The accused didn’t come hack. Nasruddin stood up and slapped the judge on his face and said, “Since I have a lot of work, whenever that person Comes and brings the coin, You take the money for this slap.”
