Hoja's foolish logic!

This is a story that shows Nasreddin Hodja's folly.

One day, Hodja was walking along the road, searching for something he had lost. Seeing him, passersby asked, "What have you lost?"

Hodja replied, "I've lost the key to my cupboard (almirah)."

Immediately, the people said, "Oh no! That's terrible. Let us help you."

Quickly, they all joined him, searching for the key on the road. Eventually, they got tired. They asked him, "Can you remember where exactly you lost the key?"

Hodja said, "I lost the key inside my house."

The people instantly got angry. "You have completely wasted our time! Why are you searching on the road if you lost it inside your house?"

At this, Hodja replied, "There is absolutely no light inside the house. How can I possibly find it there? That's why I thought it would be better to search for it here on this brightly lit road."

The people burst into laughter at Hodja's foolish logic and walked away from there.
