One day, a friend of the Hodja came to him and asked if he could borrow his donkey for two hours to go to the town. The Hodja, not really wanting to lend his donkey, thought for a while and then said:
"Dear friend, I would like to help you but I have lent my donkey to another friend"
The man was turning to leave when he heard the donkey, who was in the stable, bray. The braying became louder and louder. Then the man turned to the Hodja with great anger and shouted:
"You, Hodja, you have cheated me!"
The Hodja, in turn, was very angry and shouted back:
"You silly man, haven't you any sense, whom do you believe, me or the donkey".
