Nasruddin was deeply in debt and had been forced to sell almost everything he owned. He had even sold his turban!
One night, Nasruddin's wife shook him awake. "I hear thieves in the house," she whispered.
"Oh, that's good!" Nasruddin whispered back. "That's very good!"
"What do you mean that's good?" Nasruddin's wife replied. "I said there are thieves in the house!"
"I heard you the first time," Nasruddin replied. "I don't think there's anything of value left in this house, but maybe they will find something worth stealing, and then we can attack them and take it for ourselves!"
