Once I saw Mulla Nasruddin with a very beautiful umbrella

Once I saw Mulla Nasruddin with a very beautiful umbrella, and I asked him, “Nasruddin, when did you purchase it?”
He said, “I have not purchased it, it is very old, twenty years old.”
So I said, “It is a miracle — twenty years old! It looks so fresh and so new! How did you manage that for twenty years?”
He said, “I am absolutely certain it is twenty years old. Of course, it got changed at least two hundred times. Just the other day, when I was coming out of the mosque, it got changed again — but it is twenty years old.”
