Nasreddin brought home a piece of soap one day andgave it to his wife.

'Here's some soap, my dear. Can you wash my shirt,please?'

His wife went into the garden and started to washthe shirt. Suddenly, a big black crow flew down, took the soap and flew away.Nasreddin's wife looked up and saw the bird in a tree. She shouted at itangrily. Nasreddin heard her and ran out of the house.

'Are you alright, my dear?' he asked.

'That crow took my soap!' she said.

Nasreddin looked at the bird and smiled. 'Look atthe colour of my shirt, and look at the colour of that bird!' he said to hiswife. 'He obviously needs the soap more than I do!'
