Nasruddin’s Aim

Chapter Overview

‘Nasruddin’s Aim’ is an amusing story about the famous wise man Nasruddin. In the story, Nasruddin is shown trying to hit the target with a bow and arrow. Though he misses the target twice, he cleverly responds to his friends’ laughter by claiming different identities each time — 'the first was by a soldier,' and 'the second by a king.' When he finally hits the target, he proudly claims it was 'by Nasruddin' himself. The story blends humor with clever thinking and highlights Nasruddin’s sharp wit and confidence.
