 Nasruddin’s Aim Story Explanation

 

 

Nasruddin was chatting with his friends one day and began to boast about his archery skills, he said that no one could match him in archery. He told his friends that his arrow would always hit the target whenever he took aim and shot.

 

Hearing this, one of his friends immediately brought a bow and some arrows and gave them to Nasruddin. He pointed towards a target and told Nasruddin to shoot.

 

Nasruddin aimed at the target, strung at his bow and shot an arrow. Instead of hitting the target, the arrow fell down somewhere in the middle.

 

His friends started laughing at him and asked if this was his best aim. Nasruddin denied and said he was showing them Azad’s aim not his own.

 

Nasruddin then picked up another arrow. Once again, he strung the bow, aimed at the target, and shot the arrow. But the arrow fell a little further from where it had fallen before and did not hit the target.

 

His friends again made fun of his aim but Nasruddin defended himself saying that he was showing them the chief guard’s aim.

 

Somebody asked who was next on the list and his friends burst out laughing.

 

Nasruddin didn’t say anything and quietly picked up one more arrow. This time he was really lucky and the arrow hit right on the target.

 

Everybody was amazed and before anyone could say anything, Nasruddin said that was his aim.
