A man passed gas loudly in a gathering where Nasreddin Hodja was also present.
Then, to save the situation, he shifted his stool back and forth to make it creak.
In other words, he wanted to create the impression that the sound didn't come from him, but from the stool.
The Hodja, smiling, called out to the man who had let the air out;
"The sound matched, but what are we going to do about the smell?"
Our words are for the irresponsible people in charge who are ranting and raving after the fund fraud;
"You passed gas so loudly that, never mind the noise, the country and the universe heard it.
Stop creaking the stool in vain.
The sound matched, but what are you going to do about the smell?"
