Well, there are so many stories that I love but the most fascinating one is about lamp and global ski. It’s by Nesreddin Effendi. I don’t know did she actually lived or know, however, in Central Asia and even in Turkey that person is way more popular. I love his short funny but full of wisdom stories and as I said before the most he was the most touching one for me. Once that Nesiddin Effendi was looking for looking for something under lamp at the street and When his neighbor asked him what was he looking for, he screamed that he lost a key and he was looking for it. And he added that he lost that key at home. The neighbor just felt surprised and asked the reason why he was looking for it at the street while he actually needed to find it at home. And that time that man answered that because that police was lighter. Actually, the story first seems really funny and suspicious. However, after thinking deeper, everyone even me could just realize it’s the wisdom. It’s about looking for the truth in the easiest way, as always all the people do. So I remember when my grandma told me about that story I was studying in the primary school. So nowadays I just really believe in that conclusion of this looking for the key and I really try to use it in a good way.

Well, there are so many stories that I love, but the most fascinating one is about a lamp and Nasreddin Effendi. I don't know if he actually lived or not; however, in Central Asia and even in Turkey, that person is much more popular. I love his short, funny, but full of wisdom stories, and as I said before, the most touching one for me. Once, Nasreddin Effendi was looking for something under a lamp in the street. When his neighbor asked him what he was looking for, he exclaimed that he lost a key and was searching for it. He added that he lost that key at home. The neighbor was surprised and asked why he was looking for it in the street when he actually needed to find it at home. At that time, the man answered that it was because the street was lighter. Actually, the story first seems really funny and suspicious. However, after thinking deeper, everyone, even I, could realize its wisdom. It's about looking for the truth in the easiest way, as people often do. I remember when my grandma told me that story; I was studying in primary school. Nowadays, I really believe in that conclusion about looking for the key, and I try to use it in a good way.
