The Basket of Grapes
Mulla was carrying a basket of grapes into town on his donkey. A bunch of local teenagers surrounded him and asked, "Hey Mulla, give us some grapes!"
Looking at the crowd, Mulla realized if he gave them all a handful, he'd have nothing left. So, he pulled out one cluster, plucked off a single grape for each kid, and handed them out.
The teenagers complained, "Come on, just one?"
Mulla replied, "The whole point is just to taste them, right? One grape tastes exactly the same as the whole basket."
