The right note


I've found it!

One day Nasr-ed-Din was strumming a guitar, playing just one note.
After a while a crowd collected around him (this was in a marketplace) and one of the men sitting on the ground there said,
That's a nice note you're playing,
Mullah, but why don't you vary it a bit the way other musicians do?"
"Those fools," Nasr-ed-Din said,
"they're searching for the right note.
I've found it.
