Long ago, in a part of the world now called the Middle East, or maybe it was Afghanistan or Turkey, there lived a man named Mullah Nasruddin. Everyone called him ‘Mullah’, which meant ‘priest’ in Arabic. But was he really a priest? No one knew, for sure. Some considered him a learned fool while others said he was a wise man. That is because even though the stories about him seem funny at first, they all have a deeper meaning. It is up to each of us to find out.
