How a Man Became Famous?

Translated by: Unche Ay, Sokrat Saydahmat

Long time ago, there lived a man named Bediwi in the holy city of Mecca. The man always dreamed of becoming a famous person. He did whatever he could to build his reputation. He was very unhappy about his inability to achieve his goal.

One day he when he met Nesirdin Ependi he asked for his advice, "Ependi, I have spent most of my life trying to become famous, but I have not been successful. Please tell me what I should do to become famous?"

Nesirdin Ependi looked at this silly man with a smile: “All you have to do is to urinate in the Holy Well (Zemzem) in Mecca. You will definitely become famous then!"

Bediwi believed in Ependi so he took his joke seriously and did just as the Ependi had advised.

Soon afterwards, everyone is talking about him! "Bediwi urinated in the Holy Well!", "Who dare to urinate in the Zemzem?", "Bediwi did it!", "A man named Bediwi urinated in the Holy Well!" Finally, the man who urinated in the Zemzem in Mecca became a famous person.
