Day 10: Mulla Nasrudin & the Donkey's Price
Description: Complete the task: Mulla Nasrudin & the Donkey's Price
**Mulla Nasrudin & the Donkey’s Price**
One day, **Mulla Nasrudin** decided to sell his old donkey in the village market. The donkey was not very strong, a bit slow, and honestly not worth much. Nasrudin thought, “If I can get even a small price, I’ll be happy.”
At the market, a clever-looking trader approached him and asked, “How much for the donkey?”
Nasrudin scratched his beard and said, “Well… it’s a very special donkey. It knows the way to every village, never gets lost, and understands human emotions.”
The trader was surprised. “Really? That sounds like an amazing donkey! I’ll give you a good price for it.”
Just as the deal was about to happen, Nasrudin looked at his donkey again. He thought about all the “qualities” he had just described. The more he spoke, the more valuable the donkey seemed—even to himself.
He suddenly pulled the rope back and said, “Wait! I can’t sell this donkey.”
The trader asked, “Why not? We agreed on a price!”
Nasrudin smiled and replied, “After hearing all these wonderful things about my donkey, I’ve realized it’s far more valuable than I thought. I’d be a fool to sell it now!”
And with that, Nasrudin walked away happily with his donkey, leaving the trader confused.
**Moral:** Sometimes, the stories we tell can change how we see value—even our own.
