Mulla Nasrudin & the Donkey’s Price
Mulla Nasrudin decided one morning to sell his donkey at the village market. He believed the donkey was worth fifty gold coins. It had carried him faithfully for years, and though it was not young, it was strong and dependable. Feeling confident, Nasrudin set off down the dusty road.
On his way, he met several villagers who asked about the price. When he told them “Fifty gold coins,” they laughed. “That old donkey?” one said. “You’re dreaming!” Another added, “You’ll be lucky to get twenty!” Their words made Nasrudin uneasy, but he continued walking.
At the market, the criticism grew louder. Buyers pointed out the donkey’s age and thin frame. Each offer was lower than the last—thirty coins, then twenty-five, then twenty. After hours of hearing nothing but negative comments, Nasrudin began to doubt his judgment. Perhaps he had asked too much.
Just as he was about to lower the price, a wealthy merchant approached. He examined the donkey carefully and said, “This animal looks calm and strong. How much are you asking?” Remembering his original belief, Nasrudin lifted his head and replied boldly, “Sixty gold coins.”
The merchant agreed without hesitation and paid the full amount. As Nasrudin walked home smiling, he realized something important: when he believed in the donkey’s value, others eventually did too.
Moral: The value others see often depends on the confidence you show.**
