	Angela, You can "google" it you will get many info about him. Here one of them: Nasrudin is the archetypal wise fool, who lived in the Middle East over 600 years ago, though his stories have travelled the world and been updated in every generation. http://www.nasrudin.org/ Edited by semar
	Salam/Peace, Semar "We are people who do not eat until we are hungry and do not eat to our fill." (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) "1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water, 1/3 for air"

	Thanks Semar....I guess he's like Ivan the Idiot in Russian fairy tales. Ivan the Idiot always succeeds where everyone else failed because of his simple approach. I shall enjoy the read.
