A seminary student accidentally dropped a coin into a fountain. He was desperately poking a long stick into the water trying to drag the coin out, but it wasn't working. Mulla walked by and watched for a moment before offering his wisdom: "I know a trick. Lick the end of the stick so it's wet, then poke the coin. It'll stick right to it!" The bystanders were left utterly speechless by Mulla's "brilliance."
