104. Nasruddin and the Sesame Seeds
As one of Nasruddin’s neighbors walked by, he noticed that Nasruddin was throwing sesame seeds onto the ground. There were sesame seeds everywhere!
“What on earth are you doing?” the neighbor asked.
“I’m scattering sesame seeds,” Nasruddin replied calmly.
“I can see that!” said his neighbor. “But I don’t understand why you’re scattering sesame seeds.”
“To keep the tigers away,” said Nasruddin. “I highly recommend you give it a try too!”
“I still don’t understand,” his neighbor replied. “There aren’t any tigers anywhere near here.”
“I know!” Nasruddin exclaimed. “Isn’t it wonderful? The sesame seeds are working just as expected.”

Nothing much to report today. I’m making progress on the 5th journal and might finish it this weekend. The next one will take a little longer if I haven’t learned anything while doing this one. Still getting scattered showers and higher humidity.
