The old Mulla
Nasruddin had become a very rich man. When he felt death approaching he decided
to make some
arrangements for his funeral, so he ordered a beautiful coffin made of ebony
wood with satin pillows inside.
He also had a beautiful silk caftan made for his dead body to be dressed in.
The day the
tailor delivered the caftan, Mulla Nasruddin tried it on to see how it would
look, but suddenly he
exclaimed, "What is this! Where are the pockets?"
