152. Nasruddin and the Ship’s Passengers
Nasruddin was working on a ship, but he still made sure to say his daily prayers. The passengers all laughed at him, though, and they did not say their prayers.
Then, a sudden storm blew up and the ship was in danger of sinking. All the passengers began to pray loudly to God.
“O God,” each passenger shouted, “you are great and merciful! Spare us! Please! I’ll be a good Muslim! I’ll dedicate my life to your service!”
After a while, Nasruddin shouted, “I see land ahead. We’re saved!” And then he added, “You can stop your pretended devotions now.”

Nothing happening here other that more rain. The past few days have been light showers which is keeping the ground wet and a few places on our walking route it is keeping it muddy. That will continue for the next 10 days if the forecast is correct. Maybe start to dry out in September?
