Hodja’s wife was pregnant. One night, her labor pains started, and Hodja called the neighbors and the midwife. Soon they called out from his wife’s room and said, “Hodja! You have a son!” He was very happy.
A few minutes later the midwife called out again, “Hodja! You also have a girl.” After a little while, she called out again, “Hodja! You have another girl!”
Hodja, who had been waiting in front of his wife’s room, rushed into the room and blew out the candle. “What are you doing?” asked the surprised women. “Well! Everyone who sees the light wants to come out. What else can I do?” he answered.
