Nasrudin returned to his village from the imperial capital, and the
villagers gathered around to hear what had passed. At this time,
said Nasrudin, I only want to say that the King spoke to me. All the

said -- and quite distinctly, for everyone to hear -- was 'Get out of
my way!' The simpleton was overjoyed; he had heard words actually
spoken by the King, and seen the very man they were spoken to.
