the pitcher....

In order to teach this truth to a would-be student, who was
'full of himself', Nasrudin got a pitcher and took the young
man to a well in the village.
The Mulla drew a bucket of water up from the well and
poured it in the pitcher. Then he drew up another and
another until the young man could contain himself no
longer:
'Mulla, mulla!' he cried out. 'There is no bottom in the
pitcher and the water is pouring out.'
'Nonsense!' Nasrudin retorted. 'I am trying to fill the pitcher
and my eyes are fixed upon the neck. When the water
reaches the neck of the pitcher, it will be full. What on
earth has the bottom of the pitcher got to do with it?'
This incident perplexed the would-be student and he
pondered the Nasrudin's insane actions for several days,
until the truth suddenly dawned on him. So he went back to
see the Mulla and, cap in hand, he said: 'Mulla. Please
teach me about the pitcher. I am now ready to learn.'
