A long time ago there was a wise teacher called Hodja Nasreddin in Bukhara .
One day, people from a distant village came to Bukhara and asked Hodja Nasreddin to come and teach them some of his wisdom.
Hodja Nasreddin agreed.
When he met the audience for the first time, Hodja Nasreddin asked them one simple question, «Do you know what I am going to teach you?»
They said, yes, yes, we do!
Then Hodja Nasreddin replied, «If you do, then what will I teach you?» And he went away.
After a time these people came to Bukhara again, and asked Hodja Nasreddin to give them one more chance. He accepted.
This time, he asked them exactly the same question. They loudly replied, «No!»
He said, «If you don't know, then what will I teach you?» And Hodja Nasreddin went away.
A few days later, they came back to Bukhara and pleaded with him, «Now we are prepared, please give us another chance.»
When Hodja Nasreddin arrived, he asked them the same question again. Half of the audience replied, «No», another part shouted, «Yes».
Hodja Nasreddin replied, «If that is so, let those who know share their knowledge with those who do not know.» Then he left.
What do you think, has Hodja Nasreddin kept his promise? Did you catch on to his wisdom?
Today many people are searching for wisdom and knowledge. Are you searching for knowledge?
