Nasruddin asks a rich man for loan to buy an elephant. The man asks: How can you afford to keep an elephant? Nasruddin replies: I came here for a loan, not advice.
Notes:
Here's my short version:
Nasruddin wanted to buy an elephant, so he asked a rich man to loan him the money.
"Buy an elephant? Surely you're joking," the rich man replied.
"Not at all," said Nasruddin. "My mind is made up. I must buy an elephant."
"But elephants require a lot of food. If you do not have the money to buy an elephant, then how will you pay for its food?"
"You seem to have misunderstood," said Nasruddin. "I came to you for a loan. I did not come to you for advice!"
