Mulla Nasruddin worked as a watchman. One day, his master said, “Mulla, is it raining? I have to go to see the Sultan, and the dye on my favourite cloak is not fast,” “If it is raining, it will be ruined,” he said. Seeing the pet cat soaked thoroughly, lazy Mulla said, “Master, it’s raining heavily.” After a while, his master went out and found that there was no rain. Someone had thrown water on the cat to scare it away. Mulla was fired immediately. Mulla’s next employer complained, “Why do you go to the bazaar thrice to buy things? Get them all together.” A week later, Mulla’s employer said, “I’m sick. Get a doctor.” Mulla came back with a doctor and two more people. “I also brought the imam, in case we need to pray for your recovery; and the undertaker, in case you die!” explained Mulla. He was fired again.
