Hoca is invited to a banquet. He goes there in his everyday clothes: No one pays attention to him. He is taken aback. He rushes home, puts his luxurious fur-coat on, and returns to the banquet. This time, he is met at the entrance and led to the dais where he is given the choicest seat. When the soup is served, Hoca dunks the lapel in the bowl saying “Please have some! Eat, my fur-coat, eat! Eat, my fur-coat, eat!”
In amazement, some people ask him why he is doing this. Hoca answers: “The fur-coat gets the best treat; so, the fur-coat should eat.”

This is a very good example of how people are discriminated based on what they wear… why does the world discriminates? 😦
It does seem a worldwide problem because human beings are in very country, in every culture, and can’t seem to rise above their prejudices. Sad, isn’t it?
Definitely agree with you…
Another reminder of good old days for me here. We read the stories about Nasrettin Hoca (In Bosnian Nasrudin Hodza) in school and they always had a great message!
Thank you for sharing! 🙂
You’re welcome. I am glad they are bringing back good memories.

Wonderful satire.
