a healthy donkey and a nasty wife

The leading scholar in the Royal court was praising the benefits of magnanimity.

"You should divide all that you get equally between all those who are dear to you."

" Don't you agree?" He was asking the courtiers.

Stingy as they were, the other scholars could not see eye to eye with their colleague in this matter.

However Mulla Naziruddin interjected

" I do agree with you wholeheartedly. I divide all that I get equally between my donkey and my wife "

"Nice, so what is the result?" asked the courtiers.

" I have ended up with a healthy donkey and a nasty wife " , said Mulla.
