One day a neighbour asked Nasreddin Hodja if he could borrow Hodja's
donkey.
`Hodja Effendi, we need a donkey for a few hours. Could I take yours?'
`I would gladly lend you my donkey, my neighbour,' the Hodja started
his excuse, `but he is not here.' Just at that moment the donkey's
loud and long bray is heard from the shed.
`Shame on you Hodja Effendi,' said the neighbour, `you are caught in a
lie, your donkey is braying in the shed.'
`My dear fellow,' Nasreddin Hodja was unrepentant, `are you going to
believe the word of a Hodja or are you going to believe a donkey?'
