Who Are You Going To Believe?

A neighbour called on Mullah Nasrudin. "Mullah, I want to borrow your donkey."

.

"I am sorry," said the Mullah, "but I have already lent it out."

.
As soon as he had spoken, the donkey brayed. The sound came from Nasrudin's stable.

.
"But Mullah, I can hear the donkey, in here!"

.
As he shut the door in the man's face, Nasrudin said, with dignity: "A man who believes the word of a donkey in preference to my word does not deserve to be lent anything."
