The Clever Mulla
A group of mischievous neighborhood kids spotted Mulla walking by. Wanting to steal his shoes, they stood next to a massive, towering tree and said loudly, "Everyone says this tree is impossible to climb! No one has ever done it!"
Mulla walked up, puffed out his chest, and said, "That's child's play. I can easily climb it."
He took off his shoes, tucked them securely under his arm, and started climbing.
The kids yelled, "Mulla! Why are you taking your shoes with you?"
Mulla yelled back, "You never know, there might be a nice place to walk around up there!"
