The Story of Nasreddin Hodja and the Stingy Neighbor

Our good old friend from Akşehir, Nasrettin Hodja, was both very wise and witty. In his day, everyone knew that he was also very helpful and very generous. But Nasrettin Hodja had a neighbor who was as stingy as he could be also he knew about everything that came in and out of Nasreddin Hodja’s house.
