The poor Mullah Nasreddin was reduced to living on a diet of chickpeas and bread,
while his neighbor dined on fancy delicacies
provided by the King himself.
One day his neighbor said to Nasreddin:
"If you were truly wise you would learn to flatter the King
and obey his every whim like I do.
Then you would not have to live on chickpeas and bread."
Nasreddin answered,
"And if you would learn to live on chickpeas and bread like I do,
then you would not have to flatter the King
and obey his every whim."
