T0256. Nasruddin Does the Opposite

Nasruddin is a contrary boy and does opposite of what he was told. Now he turns fourteen, and he is leading donkey laden with flour across a stream. His father tells him to correct load by lifting left (really right). Nasruddin does as told: disaster. Why? He has become a man at that moment and set aside childish contrariness.

Notes: In Ozcelik, the story is about Nasruddin and his son, and son is disappointed: he wanted to obey just once, but that did not do any good!
