The Reason
Nasrudin went to a rich man.
‘Give me some money.’
‘Why?’ ‘I want to buy … an elephant.’
‘If you have no money, you can’t afford to keep an elephant.’
‘I came here’, said Nasrudin, ‘to get money, not advice.’

Delivering a Khutba,
Once, Nasreddin was invited to deliver a khutba. When he got on the minbar (pulpit), he asked "Do you know what I am going to say?" The audience replied "NO", so he announced "I have no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about" and he left.
The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time when he asked the same question, the people replied "YES". So Nasreddin said, "Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won't waste any more of your time" and he left.
Now the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Mullah to speak the following week.
