Hoja with a villager!

There was a time when Hoja (Mulla Nasreddin) used to move around as a friend of the King in the palace. People widely believed that Hoja knew many of the palace's secrets.

One day, a local man saw Hoja and asked him, "Hoja, do you know the secrets of the palace?"

Hoja replied, "That's right. I know many secrets."

Immediately, the villager became very excited: "Then, could you share two secrets with me?"

Hoja countered with a question: "For that, do you know how to keep secrets?"

The man boasted, "I am very good at keeping secrets. I won't tell anyone, even if I die."

Hoja smiled and said, "I am also one of those people. I won't tell anyone, even if I die. Therefore, I cannot tell you."

In reality, the man, who had a bad habit of gossiping and spreading rumours, turned away, disappointed that he couldn't get the palace secrets.
