If you want to download one, I can arrange that. Just send me a mail telling me which story you’d like, and your reason for wanting a download.

Once you start telling tales about Nasruddin, more quickly come. I discovered this one just the day before my 2019 benefit performance for Amnesty International – too good an opportunity to miss telling it.

For more Nasruddin tales on my website, go to All tales on the website.

Not surprisingly, many of the over 2000 stories at the Turkish Oral Narrative Tales archive feature the Hodja.
