Knows the future
Nasreddin was cutting a branch of a tree in his garden. While he was sawing, another man passed in the street. He stopped and said,“Excuse me, but if you continue to saw that branch like that, you will fall down with it.”He said this because Nasreddin was sitting on the branch and cutting it at a place between himself and the trunk of the tree.
Nasreddin said nothing. He thought,“This is some foolish person who has no work to do and goes about telling other people what to do and what not to do.”
The man continued on his way.
Of course, after a few minutes, the branch fell and Nasreddin fell with it.
“My God!”he cried.“That man knows the future!”and he ran after him to ask how long he was going to live. But the man had gone.
预测未来
Nasreddin正在修剪花园里的一个树枝。当他正在修剪的时候,另一个人路过时，停下来说,“对不起，如果你继续像你那样锯树枝,你将会跌下来”。因为Nasreddin正坐在树枝上，而他正在锯他自己和树干之间的那一段。
Nasreddin什么也不说。他想,“真是一个愚蠢的人，没有工作做，却到处告诉其他的人该做什么，什么不该做。”
那个人继续走他的路了。
当然，在几分钟之后，树枝断了，Nasreddin也跟着掉下来了。
“我的天啊!”他大声喊道，“那个人可以预测未来!”他立即追赶他想问自己能活多久。但是那人已经走远了。
A Note：
saw n.锯v.锯。这里不是.see的过去式
