SHARING A DRINK (BERBAGI MINUMAN)

SHARING A DRINK

The sun was shining brightly. Nasreddin and his friend were going to the market.
They walked through the street along which there were no trees at all. They felt hot and thirsty.
They wanted to buy a glass of milk but they did not have enough money.
Then they collected their money and bought a glass of milk with it. Before buying the milk,
they promised to share the milk.
"Now, let's share the drink. You'll drink half a glass and I will drink the rest" said Nasreddin
His friend said, "you drink first, Nasreddin"
"Why!" Nasreddin asked.
"I bring a little sugar with me. This is enough for half a glass of milk only, I'll put the sugar
into my share only" said his friend.
"Put into the milk, now. I'll drink half a glass" said Nasreddin.
"No, this sugar is enough for half a glass only"
Then Nasreddin ran to the small shop nearby and bought a pack of salt that was very cheap.
Then he went back to his friend.
"There's good news for you" he said, "As we have agreed I'll drink my share first.
Since I have a pack of salt, I'll put it into the milk. I'll drink first and then you. You can put your sugar
after I drink my milk with my salt"




BERBAGI MINUMAN

Matahari bersinar terang. Nasreddin dan temannya sedang pergi ke pasar.
Mereka berjalan melalui jalan yang sepanjang jalan tidak ada pohon sama sekali. Mereka merasa panas
dan haus. Mereka ingin membeli segelas susu tetapi mereka tidak punya cukup uang.
Kemudian mereka mengumpulkan uang mereka dan membeli segelas susu dengannya. Sebelum membeli susu,
mereka berjanji untuk berbagi susu tersebut.
"Sekarang, mari kita berbagi minuman. Kamu akan minum setengah gelas dan aku akan minum sisanya" kata Nasreddin
Temannya berkata, "Anda minum dulu, Nasreddin"
"Mengapa!" Nasreddin bertanya.
"Aku membawa sedikit gula. Ini cukup untuk setengah segelas susu saja, saya akan memasukkan gula
untuk bagian saya saja " kata temannya.
"Masukkan ke dalam susu, sekarang. Aku akan minum setengah gelas" kata Nasreddin.
"Tidak, gula ini cukup untuk setengah gelas saja"
Lalu Nasreddin berlari ke toko kecil di dekatnya dan membeli sebungkus garam yang sangat murah.
Kemudian ia kembali ke temannya.
"Ada kabar baik bagi mu" katanya, "Seperti yang kita telah sepakati saya akan minum bagianku pertama.
Karena saya memiliki sepak garam, Aku akan memasukkannya ke dalam susu. Aku akan minum pertama dan kemudian kamu. Kamu dapat menaruh gula
setelah saya minum susu saya dengan garam saya "
