Nasreddin Hodja is a Pozitivist ~ Vinegar ~
Word got out that Nasreddin Hodja possessed a jar full of vinegar that was 40 years old. One day a neighbour came knocking on the door. `Hodja Effendi, is it really true that you have a jar full of 40-year-old vinegar?' `It is true.' the Hodja replied. `Could I have a cup full of that vinegar?' `No.' said Hodja tersely. `But Hodja Effendi,' the displeased neighbour pursued, `why wouldn't you give me some? I only asked for a cup full.' `Because,' Hodja explained, `if I were to give a cup full to everyone who asked, my vinegar wouldn't have lasted for 40 years.'
