T0394. Fine for a Thump on the Head

Man comes up from behind and thumps Nasruddin on back of head, thinking Nasruddin is friend of his. Nasruddin is angry; takes him to court. The man is friend of the cadi, so cadi takes it lightly: you were wrong, and the fine is a farthing. Even that makes the man angry; he says he doesn't have the money and must go get it. He leaves. Nasruddin waits. And waits. Finally he gives cadi a thump on the back of his head. "When the man comes back, you can have the farthing."
