Nasreddin the Ferry Man
Nasreddin once had an old boat, which he used to ferry people across the river. One day, he was taking a university professor to the other side.
“What is the square root of 9?” asked the professor.
“I don't know,” answered Nasreddin.
“How do you spell elephant?” asked the professor.
“I have no idea,” replied Nasreddin.
“Didn't you study anything at school?” demanded the professor, surprised.
“No,” said Nasreddin.
“Then you wasted half your life,” said the professor.
Nasreddin was silent for a little while. Then he said:
“Can you swim?”
“No,” said the professor.
“Then you wasted ALL of your life,” said Nasreddin. “We are sinking.”
Why didn't Nasreddin know any of the answers?
He was a history professor.
He never studied at school.
He couldn't swim.
He is a student.

Nasreddin, o homem da balsa
Nasreddin uma vez teve um barco velho, que ele usava para transportar pessoas através do rio. Um dia, ele estava levando um professor universitário para o outro lado.
“Qual é a raiz quadrada de 9?” perguntou o professor.
“Não sei”, respondeu Nasreddin.
"Como você soletra elefante?" perguntou o professor.
“Não tenho ideia”, respondeu Nasreddin.
"Você não estudou nada na escola?" perguntou o professor, surpreso.
"Não", disse Nasreddin.
“Então você desperdiçou metade da sua vida”, disse o professor.
Nasreddin ficou em silêncio por um tempo. Então ele disse:
"Você sabe nadar?"
“Não”, disse o professor.
“Então você desperdiçou TODA a sua vida”, disse Nasreddin. "Estamos afundando."
Por que Nasreddin não sabia nenhuma das respostas?
Ele era professor de história.
Ele nunca estudou na escola.
