97. Big Pot, Little Pot
Nasruddin borrowed a big cooking pot from his neighbor. When he returned it, he placed a little pot inside the big pot.“What’s this?” asked his neighbor.
“Your big pot gave birth to a little baby pot,” Nasruddin explained.
The neighbor laughed, and he kept the little pot.
Nasruddin borrowed the big pot again later, but he didn’t return it.
When his neighbor asked for it back, Nasruddin said, “I’m sorry, but your pot died.”
“What do you mean it died?” exclaimed the neighbor. “Pots can’t die!”
“If pots can give birth, of course they can die,” replied Nasruddin, smiling.

An unconventional ode to the wonders of mesquite. Call it a love affair or an obsession: Award-winning nature writer and ethnobiologist Nabhan (Ethnobiology for the Future: Linking Cultural and Ecological Diversity, 2016, etc.) has a thing for mesquite. Early on he writes rapturously of his desire to become a tree, or at least to become more like a tree—and not just any tree. In his view, the mesquite is of singular importance as an icon, a framer of one’s worldview, a foodstuff, a beverage, a seasoning, a medicine, an antiseptic, a source of fiber and fuel, and a resource for architects and artisans.

This is a great compilation of essays for someone who has already gotten a taste of the red pill and wants to think other thoughts which cannot be thought in today's cultural milieu.Couldn't find a book promo for this book and only three customer reviews. The essays touching on the unique origins of the West which enabled the unique rise and dominance of the West and the unique masochism of the West today are especially illuminating. We are a pretty strange people, geographically speaking. It's pretty rare for societies to be monogamous (and to have all of the consequences of monogamy), but even that didn't survive the sexual revolution and feminism.

96. Frightening Nasruddin
“Our son won’t do his chores,” said Nasruddin’s wife. “You must frighten him to make him behave!”
Nasruddin jumped up and began to scream. He stuck out his tongue and shook his fists wildly. He then grabbed a knife.
At this, Nasruddin’s wife started sobbing, and Nasruddin himself ran out of the room.
When he returned, his wife was still crying, and his son was hiding under a chair.
“Why did you run away?” she asked.
“I scared even myself,” Nasruddin admitted. “Terror easily gets out of control. I meant to frighten our son, and instead I frightened us all.”

95. Nasruddin and the Donkey-Boy
Nasruddin bought a donkey and was leading it home. On the way, a thief stole the donkey and left his young son in the harness.
When he got home, Nasruddin was surprised to see his donkey had turned into a boy.
“For my bad behavior, my mother cursed me to become a donkey,” the boy said. “But I repented, and now I’m human again.”
“Make sure you don’t misbehave in future!” Nasruddin said, sending the boy home.
The next day Nasruddin saw the same donkey at the market. “You bad boy!” said Nasruddin. “Didn’t I tell you to behave yourself?”
