Pivotal
Point
One
idle day, the villagers were contemplating philosophical thoughts and
deliberating the mysteries of the universe. Since they weren’t getting anywhere
with their reflections, they decided to solicit the wisdom of Nasreddin Hodja.
“Hodja
Effendi,” they said, ‘you are a learned man; maybe you can shed a light on this
puzzle. Where is the centre of the earth?’ Nasreddin Hodja didn’t skip a beat.
‘Right
under the left front foot of my donkey’, he said.
‘Hodja
Effendi,’ protested the villagers, ‘that can’t be right!’
‘If
you don’t believe me,’ said Hodja, ‘measure it for yourself!’
