Funny Story: Until When?

Nasreddin was the only man in his village who had the opportunities to travel to other places. As a result, people often came to him to ask question. However, there was a group of people who were jealous with him. They always tried hard to make nasreddin look bad and stupid. They always come to him to ask difficult questions. Fortunately, nasreddin always managed to answer their question smartly.

   One day they gathered in one house to devise a plan to make nasreddin look bad. When they came up with the smart idea, they decided to go to nasreddin’s house. They would ask abstract question to him.

“nasreddin, in your opinion, how long will people continue to be born and to die?”

That difficult and abstract question didn’t influence nasreddin. He sighed, turned his head around, and watched them one by one.

“That’s an easy question, “he said.

“Once someone has given me a more difficult question, “he replied.

“Really?” one of them said, they got disturbed by nasreddin’s remark.

“If that’s easy, so what’s the answer?” the other one got curious.

“Your question is ‘how long will people continue to be born and to die?’ right?” nasreddin repeated the question.

“Yes, so what’s your answer?” they asked again impatiently.

“Until, of course the heaven and the hell are completely full.”
