One Day The Hodja...
~ How much longer? ~
Nasreddin Hodja's fellow villagers were always trying to baffle him with abstract questions.
`How long will people continue to be born and to die?' they asked one day. Nasreddin Hodja was unruffled.
`That's an easy one.' he said, `Until, of course, the heaven and the hell are completely full.'
