'O wife, said the Cogia, 'what is the matter with you; is the broth hot? 'Dear Efendi, said the wife, 'my mother, who is now dead, loved broth very much; I thought of that, and wept on her account.

One day Nasr Eddin Efendi went to the mountain to cut wood; after he had cut the wood he loaded his ass, and began to drive him home. The Efendi's ass, however, would hardly move. A person coming up, said, 'Put a little sal ammoniac into the of the ass. The Cogia finding a little sal ammoniac, put it in; whereupon the ass began to run so quickly that the Cogia was left far behind.
'Who would have thought, said the Cogia to his people and his wife, 'that my flaying the heifer would have made that fellow's face look so black?

Get you gone, and let the girl's mother come. Said the Cogia Efendi, 'It is not the duty of the girl's mother to give information with respect to any talents which the girl may possess.
One day Cogia Efendi, having lost his ass, inquired of a certain individual whether he had seen him. 'I saw him, said the individual, 'in a certain town, officiating as Cadi. 'You say true, said the Cogia, 'I knew he would be a Cadi, for I observed when I taught him the principles of philosophy, that his ears were not sewed up.
