Three Christian monks challenge Nasruddin. Where is the center of the earth? Under my donkey's front right hoof; measure the earth and you'll see. How many stars are there in the sky? As many as the hairs on my donkey; count them and see. How many hairs in my beard? As many as in my donkey's tail; pull them and see. The monks all convert to Islam.
Notes: In a Birbal version, it is a Muslim scholar who is indignant about the Hindu Birbal and wants to challenge him.
