When Nasruddin was a little boy, his mother would leave him at home alone while she went to do the washing at the pond. "You watch this door," his mother would say. "Don't take your eyes off the door while I'm gone."
One day someone came with an urgent message. "You need to go tell your mother right away, Nasruddin!"
Imagine her surprise when she saw him coming towards the pond, dragging the door behind him.
"I took the door off its hinges so I could keep my eyes on the door while bringing you this message," he said proudly.
