Nasruddin's donkey was missing, so he decided to bargain with God.
"O God," he prayed, "if you will bring back my donkey, I promise to donate ten gold coins to the mosque."
Sure enough, Nasruddin's donkey came back.
"O God," he prayed again, "I see you are both honorable and also powerful. Since you found my donkey and brought him back, do you think you could help me find some buried treasure? Maybe a treasure chest full of gold coins? I'll double my donation to the mosque if you can help me with that like you did with the donkey!"
