I'll start. First short intro. Nasreddin was a famous sufi scholar, in the stories about him and the life he lead. He often rode on a donkey. People came to him for both legal and religious advice, or to just borrow something.
One day, a man came to Nasreddin's house. He knocked on his door and Nasreddin opened.
"Mulla", the man said. "I want to borrow your donkey."
"I am sorry" said Nasreddin, "but I have already lent it out."
As soon as he had spoken, the donkey brayed. The sound came from Nasreddin's stable.
"But Mulla, I can hear the donkey in there!"
Nasreddin scowled at first, but then said with dignity. "A man who believes the word of a donkey, over me, deserves to be lent nothing."
