Nasruddin decided to become a musician. The problem was that he did not know how to play an instrument, so he needed to find a teacher. There was a man in his town who was a flute-teacher, so Nasruddin went to ask how much he would have to pay for flute lessons.
"I charge three gold coins for the first month of lessons," said the flute-teacher. "Then, after that, I charge one gold coin per month."
"That sounds very reasonable!" said Nasruddin. "To save both time and money, I'd like to skip the first month, and start with the second."
