I had Afghani and Iranian students who would share Nasrudin stories in the multi-cultural ESL classes. The point of the stories was not always understood by everyone, but they were very popular. Other students, then, wanted to share stories from their own countries. It was great English practice for the speaker and the listeners. Thank for reminding me of this, Terry. Lovely!

Thank you for introducing me to Mulla Nasrudin; a great example of the similarities in human behaviour through times and cultures.

Donkeys often look sad, but this one is at least very fluffy.
