A professor made an appointment with Nasreddin totalk about a difficult problem.

'I’ll come to your house at 12 o'clock tomorrow,'he said.

When he arrived at Nasreddin's house, he knockedon the door. Nobody answered. He knocked again but there was still no reply. Helooked through the windows but he couldn't see anybody.

The professor was angry. He took a piece of chalkand wrote the word IDIOT on the door in big letters.

Nasreddin returned home later and he saw it.

'Oh dear!' he said. 'My appointment with theprofessor!'

He immediately ran to the professor's house.

‘I’m very sorry,' he said. 'I completely forgotour appointment. Please forgive me. I remembered it only when I saw your nameon my door!'
