Laughing out loud
Man is stuck in a tree
One day, a local man climbed up a rather tall tree.
Shortly thereafter, however, as he tried to make his way back down, he soon discovered that the trip down might not be as easy as the trip up. In fact, try as he might, he simply could not figure out a way to get down the tree without putting his body at great risk of falling to the ground.
He asked a few passers-by for help, but no one knew what to do.
A few local people gathered near him and tried to help, but he remained stuck.
Then Nasrudin walked by and devised a plan. He threw a rope up to the man and said, Tie this around your waist.
The people nearby wondered about what Nasrudin was doing. They asked him his plan, but he calmly replied, Just trust me--this works.
When the man had the rope tied around his waist, Nasrudin pulled on the rope. Upon his doing this, the man fell from the tree and hurt himself. The bystanders, horrified to see this happen, remarked, What kind of a plan was that? Well, Nasrudin replied, I once saved someones life doing the exact same thing.
Are you sure, one man asked.
Yes, Nasrudin replied. The only thing Im not sure about is whether I saved him from a well or from a tree.
