T0195. Telling Left from Right in the Dark

Light a candle, someone says to Nasruddin; there's one to your left. Nasruddin says: how can I tell my left from my right in dark?

Notes:

Here's my short version:

It was dark. Nasruddin’s wife wanted to light a candle, so she said, “There’s a candle over there on the table to your left. Hand it to me and I’ll light it.”
Nasruddin was baffled. “How do you expect me to tell left from right in the dark like this?”
