T0291. The Donkey Becomes a Saint

Nasruddin's father runs a shrine, but Nasruddin wants to go out on his own. He travels on his donkey. Finally the donkey collapses and dies. A great shrine grows up around it. Nasruddin's father comes to see. Whose shrine? That donkey you gave me! Ah, my shrine is of the donkey my father gave me!

Notes: Compare similar story told about Juha and an accidental shrine.
