"I'll have you hanged, if you don't prove that you are a mystic." said a
cruel and ignorant king who had heard of Nasrudin's powers. "I see strange
things," said Nasrudin at once. "A golden bird in the sky, demons under the
earth." The king asked "But how can you see through solid objects? How can
you see far into the sky?"
Nasrudin replied, "Fear is all you need."
