00:00So once the Mullah was standing at a crossing and there were some kids around him and the kids were pestering him.
00:06So the Mullah said, I'm going to teach them a lesson.
00:09Mullah said, why don't you all go to the marketplace, run along and run hard.
00:13The kids said, why? Why should we go there Mullah?
00:15Mullah said, the mayor, he has thrown a lavish party. You must go there.
00:20Here you would get nothing. There you can fill up yourself to your heart's content.
00:25So run hard, everybody.
00:26The kids ran to the marketplace. The Mullah smiled for some time.
00:29And then the onlookers got a surprise.
00:32They found that Mullah too was running after the kids.
00:35Somebody stopped Mullah and asked him, Mullah, we saw you fool the kids.
00:39Now why are you running towards the marketplace?
00:41Mullah said, who knows, there might actually be a party.
00:46Mullah started hoping, well, so many kids are going there.
00:49What if there is actually a party?
00:52Then I would be the one who has been fooled.
00:54So why take the risk?
00:55When everybody is running towards the marketplace, let me also run towards the marketplace.
01:00You too are running towards the marketplace in the same way.
01:03It might be a commercial marketplace.
01:05It might be a spiritual marketplace.
01:07We very well know that there is nothing there in the direction we are running towards.
01:11But what can one do with the tendency to hope?
01:15Such a joke is human life.
01:17Such a joke in itself.
