Some of Nasrudin’s acquaintances wanted to get Nasrudin to kill his biggest goat and invite them for a meal. So one day they told him, “Did you hear the news?”
“No, what is it?” Nasrudin replied. “The world is coming to an end tomorrow!” the friend said.
Upon hearing this, Nasrudin invited them all to dinner that night to eat the goat. They ate it, but upon finishing, they discovered Nasrudin had taken all of their coats, and used them to kindle his fire.
They were outraged, and angrily protested, but Nasrudin interrupted, remarking, “Don’t you remember the world is coming to an end tomorrow? What difference does it make if you have coats or not?”
