MullaNasrudin's wife complained
bitterly to the Mulla. "I am absolutely ashamed of the way we live.
Mother pays our rent. My aunt buys our
clothes. My sister sends us money for food. I don't like to complain, but I am
ashamed that we cannot do better than that."
"YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED," said
Nasrudin. "YOU HAVE GOT TWO UNCLES THAT DON'T SEND US A DIME."
