Everybody has right
Hodja was once a judge. One day a man came to his house to complain about his neighbor. Hodja listened carefully and then said to him,
- My good man, you are right.
The man went away happily. In a little while the first man's neighbor came to see Hodja. He complained about the first man. Hodja listened carefully to him, too, and then said,
- My good man, you are right.
Hodja's wife had been listening to all this, and when the second man left, she turned to Hodja and said,
- Hodja, you told both men right. That's impossible. They both can't be right.
Hodja listened carefully to his wife and then said to her,
- My dear, you are right, too.
