A man climbed up a tree but couldn't get back down. He asked the help of the passers-by. Mullah Nasruddin happened to be there too and said that he could help. He found a long rope and threw one end of it to the man up on the tree.
'Tie this around your waist!' he said.
'What are you doing Mullah?' the others wanted to interfere, 'You cannot rescue a man from a tree like that.'
'Trust me,' the Mullah tried to calm them down, 'this method is tested and true.'
Once the man wrapped one end of the rope around his waist and made a strong knot, Mullah Nasruddin pulled the man down amidst cries of the watching crowd.
The man fell on the ground with a huge thump and was badly hurt.

'Mullah, we warned you. Look what you have done.' the crowd said.
'I once saved a man with this exact same method,' the Mullah explained, `but I cannot remember if it was from a tree or from a water well.'
