One day Nasreddin went to a big dinner party. He was
wearing old clothes, and when he came in, nobody looked
at him and nobody gave him a seat at a table. So Nasreddin
went home, put on his best clothes, and then went back to
the party. The host at once got up and came to meet him.
He took him to the best table, gave him a good seat, and offered
him the best dishes.
Nasreddin put his coat in the food and said, 'Eat, coat!'
The other guests were very surprised and said, 'What are
you doing?'
Nasreddin answered, 'I was inviting my coat to eat. When
I w
as wearing my old clothes, nobody looked at me or offered
me food or drink. Then I went home and came back in these
clothes, and you gave me the best food and drink. So you
gave me these things for my clothes, not for myself.'
