One day mullah Nasradin loses his ring in the house. He looks for it but does not find it. He goes out into the yard, in the yard and there looks for the ring. His wife says ‘Mullah, you lost your ring in the house. Why have you gone to look for it in the yard?’ He says ‘Wife, it is dark in the house. I must go out into the yard (where) it is light and look for it.’
