Nasrudin was fixing his roof one day when a friend approached his house. His friend called out, "Excuse me, Nasrudin, could you please come down here for a moment?"
Nasrudin put down his tools and climbed down his roof to meet his friend. His friend then asked, "Could I borrow some money?"
Nasrudin thought for a moment, then beckoned to his friend, "Please, could you join me on my roof for a moment?"

The friend climbed upon the roof, followed by the Mullah who then exclaimed, "I HAVE NO MONEY!!!"

There was a terrible drought. After a long deliberation, the villagers decided to approach Nasrudin, who was known to work miracles on occasion, and ask for his intervention in bringing the rain. The whole community went over to Nasrudin's hut and the elders stated their request.

"Sorry," said Nasrudin, "There will be no miracle - you have no faith."

"But Nasrudin, how can you say that?" said the villagers, "After all, is it not our faith that brought us to your door, begging for help?"

"If you really had faith," said Nasrudin, "You would have come with umbrellas."
