SWEET AND SALTOne day Nasrudin and his friend stopped at a little restaurant. They were both very thirsty and decided to share a glass of milk. When the milk came, the friend suggested that Nasrudin drink half first.
"I have got a little sugar with me," said the friend, "but it is just enough for me. So after you have drunk your half I will add the sugar to my half."
"Why don't you add it now?" Nasrudin said. "I will only drink my half."
"No, no. This little bit of sugar cannot sweeten a full glass of milk," said the man.
So Nasrudin went and got some salt from the kitchen.
"Well then," he said. "You can sweeten your half later. But I will have my half after adding this salt to it."
