Theos-Talk Archives (March 2005 Message tt00064)

Hallo John and all,

The following might show you some support in your struggle:


Mulla Nasrudin in the tale: "The dog is out"

The situation was desperate. Mulla Nasrudin had been bitten by a rabid dog
and the doctors were not certain that he had begun treatment in time to save 
him.
After a consultation on the matter, they came into the room and told him the 
plain truth -- 
that he might develop hydrophobia -- that his chances were pretty bad.
Instead of seeming to be upset at the news, Mulla Nasrudin asked for a pen 
and paper
and began to write at great length. After an hour of steady writing, his 
nurse said to him,
"What are you writing, Mulla? Is it your will or a letter to your family?"
"NO," said Nasrudin, "IT'S A LIST OF PEOPLE I AM GOING TO BITE."
