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.
