（A
depiction of Nasreddin）
Mulla Nasruddin
was a Sufi teacher and saint believed to have born in 1208 in
Turkey. Mulla did not advise his followers. He realized that his
teaching would reach more people if he gave it away with jokes,
fun and wit. Anecdotes with Mulla touch many topics like common
sense, thrift and courage. He also spread his religious
teachings and ridiculed the government through his funny
stories. Here is a thought-provoking and funny story from Mulla.
A young man came
to Mulla Nasruddin for advice. "I am going to work for the king.
I want to know how to do my job well," said the young man.
"You need only one
thing to work for the royals," said Mulla.
"And what is
that?" asked the young man.
Mulla got up from
his chair and said, "Patience."
The young man
nodded and waited for Mulla to continue.
"You need
patience," said Mulla.
"Yes, sir. I will
be patient," said the young man with a smile.
"You need to be
patient," said Mulla again pacing the room.
"Of course, great
man. I will develop patience," said the young man. He frowned
and looked at Mulla.
"And you
definitely need patience," said Mulla as he sat down again.
"You have told me
that a thousand times. What else?" asked the young man shouting
at Mulla.
"You have not even
joined the palace. You have lost your patience already," said
Mulla smiling.
The young man
understood the purpose of the little experiment and the advice
from Mulla. Mulla Nasruddin knew that the young man would never
forget the importance of being patient.
Discussion/讨论：
1. Why did
the young man shout at Nasruddin?
2. How did Nasruddin
advise the young man?
3. How
would you show your children/students the importance of being
patient?
4. Write a
short essay on patience in about 200 words.
