Mulla received terrible news: his mother-in-law had fallen into the river and been swept away by the current. He rushed to the riverbank and immediately started searching upstream. The locals were baffled. "Mulla, the current flows downstream! Why are you looking upstream?" Mulla replied, "You didn't know the woman. She was so contrary and stubborn in life, I guarantee her body floated against the current just to prove a point."
