Fable : Why are you here ?
One day Nasrudin was walking along a deserted road. Night was
falling as he spied a troop of horsemen coming toward him. His
imagination began to work, and he feared that they might rob him,
or force him into the army. So strong did this fear become that
he leaped over a wall and found himself in a graveyard. The other
travelers, innocent of any such motive as had been assumed by
Nasrudin, became curious and pursued him.
When they came upon him lying motionless, one said, “Can we help
you? And, why are you here in this position?”
Nasrudin, realizing his mistake said, “It is more complicated
than you assume. You see, I am here because of you; and you, you
are here because of me.”
