One day Nasruddin tied his donkey up outside of the courthouse while he ran some errands.
Meanwhile, the judge had just condemned a man to ride around the town backwards on a donkey as punishment for his crime, so they needed a donkey. They borrowed Nasruddin's donkey, and when Nasruddin found out, he was not happy.
A few days later, someone knocked at Nasruddin's door.
"I've come from the judge. We need to borrow your donkey again. It's the same man again, same punishment."
"Absolutely not!" said Nasruddin. "If the man's a career criminal, let him get his own donkey!"
Inspired by: Nasreddin Hodja compiled by Alpay Kabacali.
