Nasreddin Hodja borrowed money from a friend. Even if he had a handful, Hodja would pay immediately, but let poverty be blind in both eyes. He started knocking on Hodja's door because he wanted to buy someone before the due date. One day, one day, another day, when the man asked for his debt;
- Not right now, but he said, I will pay it very soon,
To such an enemy, is this man brazen?
– Tell me Hodja, when will you give it, from whom will you find it?
– I planted bushes in front of the house!
- Why?
– As the flock of sheep passes, their wool will get caught in the bush.
- Later?
– Our lady will collect this wool, wash it, comb it, spin it, weave it, and I will take it and sell it.
– So?
– What's the matter man, you asked, I will pay your money that way then.
Who wouldn't laugh at this; When the man laughed while holding his crotch, Hodja said:
- He doesn't know what he's doing, he said, you saw the cash money, smile!

– Şu anda yok ama demiş, çok yakında ödeyeceğim,
Böylesi düşman başına, adam yüzsüz mü yüzsüz:
– Söyle Hoca, ne zaman vereceksin, kimden bulup vereceksin!
– Evin önüne çalı ektim!
– Niye?
– Koyun sürüsü geçerken yünleri çalıya takılacak.
– Sonra?
– Bizim hatun bu yünleri toplayacak, yıkayacak, tarayacak, eğirecek, dokuyacak, ben de götürüp satacağım.
– Eee?
– Ne e'si be adam, sordun ya, senin paranı o zaman öyle ödeyeceğim.
Buna kim gülmez; adam da kasıklarını tuta tuta gülünce Hoca:
– Gidi hâlden bilmez, demiş, peşin parayı gördün ya gül bakalım!
