The Hoja and the Doctor

 This is a humorous anecdote, likely from the stories of Mullah

Once, the Hoja and a doctor (physician) were walking along a road, talking. Just then, a man from a large, respectable manor in the area ran up to them, looking for the doctor.

"Doctor, please come quickly to the lord's house. He has a severe stomach ache!"

The Hoja went with the doctor to the house. When they entered the room, the doctor said, "The fruit you ate is what caused this stomach ache. I will give you medicine."

The sick man agreed, "That's right. I ate a few too many bananas."

Everyone was astonished by the doctor's insightful diagnosis. As they were walking back, the Hoja asked the doctor, "How did you know he had eaten fruit?"

The doctor immediately chuckled, "Oh, that was simple! There were several banana peels lying under his bed!"

The Hoja Tries His Hand at Medicine

Sometime later, the Hoja was called to a house to cure an illness. When he arrived, he immediately bent down and looked under the bed. There was some hay (straw) lying underneath.

The Hoja instantly declared, "Eating hay is the cause of this illness!"

The family became angry and snapped, "Sometimes the Hoja is capable of nothing but foolishness!"
