n the bustling town of Aksehir, Mulla Nasrudin’s reputation for wisdom was rivalled only by his fondness for his loyal donkey. One day, a local inventor unveiled his latest contraption, a machine he claimed could rival the wisdom of any human.
Curious townsfolk gathered in the square, peppering the machine with questions. Seeing the commotion, Nasrudin wandered over, his donkey in tow.
“What is the secret to a long and happy life?” asked one man. In a monotonous drone, the machine replied, “A balanced diet, regular exercise, and sound sleep.”
The crowd erupted in applause, and the inventor beamed proudly. Mulla Nasrudin, stroking his beard thoughtfully, stepped forward. “Oh Wise Machine,” he said, “can you tell me about the happiest day of your life?”
The machine whirred, buzzed, and then fell silent. The inventor flustered, admitted, “The machine doesn’t have personal experiences or emotions.”
A twinkle appeared in Nasrudin’s eyes. He turned to his donkey, now busily munching on a patch of grass, and asked loudly, “And what about you, friend? What was the happiest day of your life?”
The donkey, hearing Nasrudin’s voice, lifted its head, gave a cheerful bray, and returned to its grass, as if to say, “Any day with a good meal is a happy day to me!”
The crowd burst into laughter, and even the inventor couldn’t help but smile.
“Behold,” Nasrudin said, turning back to the crowd. “My donkey has no words, yet expressed more wisdom than the machine. For wisdom isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about experience, emotion, and, most importantly, a good meal!” And with that, he and his wise donkey left the crowd to ponder the true nature of wisdom, leaving the “wise” machine humming quietly to itself.
