Nasreddin Hodja and his wisdom

A 13th-century Turkish folk character whose absurd stories—like planting salt to grow money—punch holes in logic just wide enough to let wisdom slip through. Nasreddin teaches by reversing expectations so thoroughly that you recognize the actual absurdity in how you've been thinking, making him less a sage and more a philosophical pickpocket.
