Tit for Tat

Innocent people are always cheated by cunning people for their own profit. A Fakir claimed that he could teach any illiterate person to read through an “instant technique” and claimed some fee to carry out this. “OK,” Nasruddin said. “Teach me.” The Fakir then touched Nasruddin’s head and said, “Now go read something." “we can pay after I come back", saying so Nasruddin left and returned to the village square an hour later with an angry look on his face.“What happened?” asked the villagers. “Can you read now?” “Indeed I can,” replied Nasruddin, “but that’s not why I came back? Now where is that fraud Fakir?” “Mulla,” the people said, “he taught you to read in no more than a minute. So what makes you think he’s a fraud?” “Well,” Nasruddin explained, “I was just reading a book that asserted, ‘All Fakirs are frauds."
