THE MULLA WENT TO SEE A RICH MAN. 'GIVE ME SOME MONEY.' 'WHY?' 'I WANT TO BUY...AN ELEPHANT.' 'IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP AN ELEPHANT.' 'I CAME HERE,' SAID NASRUDIN, 'TO GET MONEY, NOT ADVICE.' The appeal of Nasrudin is as universal and timeless as the truths he illustrates. This delightful collection of teaching stories in which Mulla Nasrudin is the main actor is both an outstanding anthology of humor and a book of Sufi wisdom. Here are stories by the Sufi masters Rumi, Jami, and Attar, plus others collected by Idries Shah from the Persian, Afghan, Turkish, and Arabic cultures.
