Nasruddin heard that a position for Judge was open in his town. He took to walking about with a fishing net over his shoulder.
People asked him, what’s up with the fishing net?
“I started out as a fisherman. I keep this net to remind me of my simple origins. replied Nasruddin
Everyone was impressed by his humility. So impressed they chose him to be their new judge. After that he quit carrying the fishing net around.
People asked him, what’shappened with the net?
“Surely, once the fish are caught there is no longer any need for the net!” he replied.
