🌴 Nasruddin and the Desert Tree

One day, during a time of war, Nasruddin was seen planting a small tree in the middle of the desert.

“Have you lost your mind, Mulla?
Soldiers are burning forests and you’re planting trees!”

Nasruddin smiled.
“I’m only helping the generals.”

“Helping them? How?”

“Well, when they’re finished destroying the world, they’ll need somewhere to hang their medals.”
