Mulla Nasruddin asked his son to climb up a ladder. The boy was about ten years old. Mulla stood at the bottom of the ladder spreading his arms out, and told his son to jump down.
The boy hesitated: “What if I fall down?”
Nasruddin said, “You fool! Your father is here to catch you in his arms, so why should you fall?”
“I am afraid,” said the son.
Nasruddin told him, “Why be afraid when I am standing here?”
The son hesitated, but the father persuaded him and the boy jumped. Nasruddin moved away. The son fell down and hurt his knees.
He asked his father, “Why did you do that?”
Nasruddin said, “I have given you a lesson about life: don’t trust anyone blindly, even if it's your father."
This world is NOT to be trusted blindly; a lot of deceitful persons live in this world and lets be careful.
