Nasruddin was so fond of his donkey that he bought her a beautiful bridle, made of the best leather and adorned with sequins.
After putting the bridle on his donkey, Nasruddin rode to the bakery. He tied the donkey to a tree and went inside, but when he came back out, the bridle was gone!
He looked all around and saw a horse tethered to another tree, wearing his donkey's beautiful bridle.
"I see you stole my donkey's bridle, you wicked horse!" Nasruddin shouted. "But the fact remains: the bridle looked much better on her than it does on you!"
