Nasruddin Hoja was sitting in front of his house. It was raining and somebody came running and he said, "What are you doing here? Your wife has fallen in the river!"
Hoja rushed to the river. A great crowd had gathered, but nobody was daring enough to jump into the river -- it was so dangerous, it was such a big flood. Hoja immediately jumped - and started swimming upstream.
The crowd laughed and someone asked, "Hoja , what are you doing? Why are you trying to swim upstream?"
Hoja retrorted, "You keep quiet man! You don't know my wife. If she has fallen in the stream, she must have gone upstream, she will never go downstream. She will always do the opposite. I know my wife very well."
