Fruits for the king

When King Tamerlane invaded Turkey he heard news about man named Nasreddin Hojja who lived in akshehir. He went there and set a camp. Then he sent a company of soldiers to invite Nasredin to go to the camp.

But Nasreedin thought that the king would kill anybody he met. So, he refused the invitation. The king realized that Nasreddin did not want to see him soon. Then he sent a battalion of army to force him to come to the camp.

Nasreddin was very afraid. He said, "okay, i'm coming soon"

The army went back and reported to the king that Nasreddin would come soon. The king waited for him for several hours. But he did not come yet. The king lost his temper. He jumped onto his hourse and rode to Nasreddin's house.

The people who knew that the king was coming cried out, nasreddin, hurry up. The king comes here!

Nasreddin put on his clothes quickly and walked to the camp. When he turned right at a very narrow road the king also arrived there. The horse was very frightened by his sudden coming. It jumped so high that the king fell down from its back.

The king was very angry and commanded his soldiers to arrest Nasreddin

"Why do you arrest me?" Asked him

"You will be hung in the city square. You have hurt the king" answered the soldier.

"Bring me to the king first" said he.

The soldiers brought him to the king.

Nasreddin  asked, " what's my fault so that i should be piuished?"

"You bring a bad luck for me" answered the king.

Nasreddin asked ,"what's my fault so that i should be punoshed?"

"You bring a bad luck for me" answered the king.

"Your majesty, who bring a bad luck, your majesty or i?" Said him, "if i brong  a bad luck to your majesty, pf course, you majesty has fallen down and died. If it were so, it would be fair to punish me. But it's your majesty that brings a bad luck to me."

"How can you say that?" Asked the king.

Nasreddin answered, the proof is when your majesty met me, i will be punoshed. So, i don't think that i bring bad luck."

The kong though that nasreddin was right. He decided to forgive him. Before he let Nasreddin go, he asked a question, "say Nasreddin, am i a tyrant or an educated man?"

Nasredsin answered , "your majesty is not a tyrant noran educated man. We, the people, are the tyrants so God sends your majesty to punish us."

The king was very happy with answer and nasreddin go.

Several months later the fruit season came. Nasreddin said to his wife, "let's pick some ripe figs and present them to the king."

They went to the garden and started picking some figs. His wife saw that the pears were also ripe. She said, "nasreddin, see the pears are also ripe. Let's pick some, too, and present them to the king."

"Not, let's not. Just do what i ask you to do," answered he.

Some minute later, his wife saw an apple tree which was rich with big and fresh apples. She said, " see the apples. They are good to be presented to the king. Let's pick some of them. They are much better than figs."

"No. I have said your pick what i ask you to, " said nasreddin.

At last they got a basketful of ripe figs. The next day Nasreedin brought them to the king.
