Nasreddin got his turn to deliver a sermon at the mosque for three Fridays consecutively. Nasreddin actualy felt that the duty was too difficult for him, bt he could bot evade from it.
On the first Friday all people had been sitting nicely waiting for his sermon. Nasreddin walked to the stage. He said, "Gentlemen, do you know the topic of the sermon I want to talk about now?"
The people were surprised because nobody had asked about something before a sermon was delivered. They answered, "No, not yet." Then Nasreddin said, "Well, if you don't know anything about the important topic, I think it's no use to talk about it. It's to late."
After that Nasreddin got down from the stage without delivering any sermon. The people went home in disappointment.
The next Friday, Nasreddin came to the stage again with the same question. The audience thought for a moment before answering the question. They were afraid if nasreddin would not deliver any sermon. So, they said, "Yes, we do."
Nasreddin said, "Well, you have known everything. Certainly it is useless to talk again about something that we have known well." Then Nasreddin walked down from the stage. That Friday the people were disappointed again because Nasreddin did not deliver any sermon.
On the last Friday, Nasreddin came up to the stage again. He raised the same question. The audience were so confused that some said "No", some said "Yes", and the rest said nothing.
"Allright, gentlemen," said Nasreddin, "Since some of you have known about the topic and some others haven't, I think it would be much better if the ones who haven't known ask about it to the ones who have known about it." After saying so, Nasreddin walked down the stage. And there was no sermon again on that Friday.
