Stories of Nasruddin about youth and old age
The Stories from Nasruddin are mostly humorous or sometimes clumsy, ultimately giving these stories wise and original solutions that shed light on other things.
One day said Nasruddin: “There is no difference between youth and old age!”
"Like that?" you asked him. He explained:
“There is a heavy stone in front of our door that only a few people can lift. When I was young, I tried to pull him up but couldn't. Later, when I got old, I remembered this and tried to pull him up again, again without Success. Based on these Experience I say that there is no difference between youth and old age!”Stories of Nasreddin
Who is Nasredin?
Nasreddin became known to Richard Merrill through the stories that Idries Shah described as Persian sufi-Folk figure had put together.
This amazing personality becomes a directly manipulative creature in the hands of puppeteer Richard Merrill of Brooksville, Maine live awakened.
Background break: In Turkey his name is Nasreddin Hodja from Anatolia, a historical figure from the time of Seljuk rule in the so-called Middle Ages.
Nasreddin, Nasrudin or Nasruddin is also declared by Afghans, Iranians, Uzbeks and also Arabs as well as the Turkish Xinjiang region in western China.
Given that the Seljuk Empire from 1000 to 1400 stretched from Turkey to the Punjab in India, as did the Achmaenid Empire a thousand years before, you bring insightful information Stories (along with the war) from East to West and back again, a personality like Nasruddin can be shared by all, whether as Nasreddin Hodja or Mulla Nasruddin.
