Once upon a time, there was a man who liked hunting very much. He often went to the forest to hunt
any animal he met. One day he went hunting into the forest. He intended to shoot any animal he saw. He
brought his gun with him. When he was searching for his pre, suddenly he saw a bird perching on a
branch of a tree. It was a dove. When he was aiming his gun at the dove, suddenly an ant came and bit
his foot. He was so startled that he didn’t shoot the dove. It was safe and then flew away. Several days
later, the dove was flying over a lake. He saw an ant floating on the surface of the water. It was the ant
that had saved the dove’s life from the hunter. The ant was almost drowned. The dove got an idea, he
picked up a big leaf and dropped it onto the surface of the water near the ant. Luckily the ant could get
on the leaf. The ant tried to bring the leaf to the edge of the lake and landed on the ground. The ant was
safe because the dove helped him.

Once upon a time, there was a forest. That forest contained many animals. There lived a hunter. He loved
hunting rabbits, because he loved the rabbit meat.

Many a time he was advised by his friends to give up hunting in general and hunting the rabbits in
particular. “You should stop being cruel to animals," said his friends. “I know what I am doing. Please do
not advise me," shouted the hunter, annoyed.

One sunny afternoon, the hunter was busy preparing to go on another hunting expedition. Just then a
saint happened to pass by. Seeing the hunter holding a rope, a spear, a knife and a net, the saint said to
the hunter, “It seems to me you are going to catch an animal."

“Yes, I am going to catch a rabbit in the forest," replied the hunter.

“But what will you do with the rabbit?" asked the saint.

“I will cut its throat, roast it and eat it up. Will you stop me?" asked the hunter.
The raw behavior of the hunter irritated the saint. “No, my son! I only wanted to tell you that killing
innocent animals is a sin. All sinners get punished some day in their lives," said the humble saint.

The hunter yelled back at the saint, “let me see who comes to punish me." And he left in anger. The saint
smiled and sat there is meditation.

After some time, the hunter was back. He was holding a rabbit by its ears. “Ha! Ha! See I have caught my
prey. Now I will cut its throat and roast it right in front of you. No one will come to punish me," he said to
the still meditating saint. Just as the hunter was about to raise his knife, it slipped out of his hand and
landed on his foot. “Yieee!" he screamed, letting go of the rabbit. The rabbit ran away.

The hunter’s foot was badly cut. He was in pain. It was bleeding profusely. But the hunter knew that
what happened was nothing but the divine justice. “I have now realized how cruel and stubborn I have
been. I will give up hunting completely," said the hunter to the saint.

The hunter thanked the saint for the wise words and went on his way. The saint was happy that the
hunter gave up hunting. The hunter became a civilized man and lived a righteous life.

One day Nasreddin borrowed a pot from his neighbor Ali. The next day he brought it back with another
little pot inside. “That’s not mine,” said Ali. “Yes, it is,” said Nasreddin. “While your pot was staying with
me, it had a baby.” Sometime later Nasreddin asked Ali to lend him a pot again. Ali agreed, hoping that
he would once again receive two pots in return. However, days passed and Nasreddin had still not
returned the pot. Finally, Ali lost patience and went to demand his property. “I am sorry,” said Nasreddin.
“I can’t give you back your pot since it has died.” “Died!” screamed Ali, “how can a pot die?” “Well,” said
