Before buying the milk, they promised to share the milk. “Now, let’s share the drink.you’ll drink half a glass and I will drink the rest”said Nasredin.

His friend said”you drink first, Nasredin.”

“why?” Nasredin asked.

“I bring alittle sugar with me.this is enough for half a glass of milk only,I’ll put the sugar into my share only.”said Nasredin.

“No, this sugar is enough for half a glass only.”

Then Nasredin ran to small shop nearby and bought a pack of salt that was very cheap. Then he went back to his friend.

“There’s good news for you ,” said he. ”As we have agreed I’ll drink my share first. Since I have a pack of salt , I’ll put it into the milk. I’ll drink first and then you.you can put your sugar after I drink my milk with my salt.
