Nasruddin was taking his donkey to the market to sell. On the way, though, the donkey stumbled and slipped in some mud. Nasruddin scraped off what he could, but the donkey's tail was still full of mud. Since Nasruddin was in a hurry, he cut the tail off and put it in the saddlebag.
"This is a fine-looking donkey," said a prospective buyer as he inspected the donkey. "But wait! What's this? His tail is missing!"
Nasruddin lifted the flap of the saddle-bag to show him the tail. "If you buy the donkey, I'll throw in the tail for free!"
