T0231. Hard Turnips

Nasruddin is going to take turnips to king; friend advises to take figs. The grumpy king throws the fruit at Nasruddin. Now Nasruddin understands why not turnips: something hard like that could kill you!

Notes: Different stories have different objects, such as potatoes (hard) and strawberries (soft), etc.
