Nasrudin Stories)
Obligation
The Mulla nearly fell into a pool. A man whom he knew slightly was near and saved him. Every time he met Nasrudin after that he would remind him of the service he had performed.
When this had happened several times Nasrudin took him to the water, jumped in, stood with his head just above water and shouted: "Now I am just as wet as I would have been if you had not saved me. Leave me alone !".
