Quote from The Hungry Coat

The Hungry Coat

Once upon a time 
in Turkey there lived a 
funny, little wise man named 
Nasrettin Hoca. He wore a
huge, white turban and a
worn-out coat made of
patches upon patches.
Riding about on his little
gray donkey, he liked to help
whomever he could.

One day Nasrettin Hoca
heard a great commotion
inside the caravansary, a hostel
for travelers. A frisky goat
had gotten loose inside
the kitchen. Kicking and
prancing, she was breaking 
all the dishes, knocking over
pots and pans, and spilling
all the cooking oil. . .
