One day Hodja wished to learn playing the zurna—a kind off shrill pipe, and visited a zurna player. “How much does it cost to learn playing zurna?” asked Hodja.
“Three hundred akche (coin) for the first lesson, and one hundred akche for the next lessons,” said the zurna player.
“It sounds good,” replied Hodja. “May we start with second lesson. I was a shepherd when I was young, so I already had some whistle experiences. It must be good enough for first lesson, isn’t it?”.
