There was a very ignorant man from a rural area and he wanted to travel to a distant place so he asked his friend, “How can I go? It’s too far.”
His friend said, “Why don’t you go by bus?”
The man replied, “I don’t know what a bus looks like.”
His friend said, “The bus has a mirror in the front, and when the bus comes you pay the money and go inside and buy a ticket and then you start travelling.”
In front of the man was another inside the bus wearing glasses. The villager thought the glasses were mirrors, so he remembered what his friend had said and sat on the man with glasses.
The man with glasses said, “What the hell are you doing? Go away.”
And they quarrelled and agreed to go to the judge.
The villager says, “I bought the ticket and I have to sit with glasses.”
And the judge said, “He doesn’t know, because he’s from a village,” and let him go.

በአንድ የገጠር አካባቢ የሚኖር በጣም መሃይም ሰው ወደ ሩቅ አገር መሄድ ፈልጎ ጓደኛውን “እንዴት ነው መሄድ የምችለው? በጣም ሩቅ ነው፡፡” አለው፡፡
ጓደኛውም “ለምን በአውቶብስ አትሄድም” ሲለው ሰውየውም “አውቶብስ ምን እንደሚመስል አላውቅም፡”፡ አለው፡፡
ጓደኛው “አውቶብስ ከፊት ለፊቱ መስታወት ያለው ሲሆን አውቶብሱ ሲመጣ ገንዘብ ከፍለህ ከገባህ በኋላ ካርኒ ተቀብለህ መጓዝ ብቻ ነው፡፡” ብሎ ነገረው፡፡
ሰውየውም አውቶብሱን ሲሳፈር አውቶብሱ ውስጥ ሌላ መነፅር ያደረገ ሰው አይቶ ጓደኛው የነገረውን ስላስታወሰ መነፅሩ መስታወት መስሎት መነፅር ያደረገው ሰውዬ ላይ ተቀመጠ፡፡ ባለመነፅሩም “ምን አባክ እያደረክ ነው? ሂድ ከዚህ፡፡” ሲለው በዚህ ተጣልተው ወደ ዳኛ ለመሄድ ወሰኑ፡፡
መሃይሙም ሰው “ካርኒውን ስለገዛሁ መስታወቱ ጋ መቀመጥ አለብኝ፡፡” አለ፡፡
ዳኛውም “ከገጠር ስለመጣ አያውቅምና ተወው፡፡” ብሎ በነፃ ለቀቀው፡፡
