Nasruddin Gets Off His Donkey

Nasruddin was in high spirits, galloping on his donkey and showing off. He had gotten everyone's attention with his antics, and he was enjoying all the attention. He raced up and down the streets, around the city square, and then he galloped through the marketplace.
But all of a sudden Nasruddin's donkey stumbled, and Nasruddin came tumbling off the donkey and fell down on the ground. Everyone in the marketplace laughed at him.
Nasruddin got up and dusted himself off. "What are you laughing at?" Nasruddin asked angrily. "This is where I was going to get off anyway!"
