Mulla’s Advice

Written story
Mulla married off his daughter to a farmer. On the wedding night, the groom’s family put the bride on a donkey and started leading her out of town. They hadn't gone far when Mulla came sprinting after them, panting and out of breath. One of the groom's relatives asked, "Mulla, what's wrong? Why did you chase us down?" Mulla, gasping for air, said, "I forgot to give my daughter some crucial life advice!" He leaned in close to her ear and whispered gravely, "Daughter, whenever you sew anything, always remember to tie a knot at the end of the thread, otherwise it will pull right through the needle!"
