The dervish Nasrudin entered a formal reception area and seated himself at the foremost elegant chair. The Chief of the Guard approached and said: "Sir, those places are reserved for guests of honor."
"Oh, I am more than a mere guest," replied Nasrudin confidently.
“Oh, so are you a diplomat?"
"Far more than that!"
"Really? So you are a minister, perhaps?"
"No, bigger than that too."
"Oho! So you must be the president himself, sir," said the Chief sarcastically.
"Higher than that!"
"What?! Are you higher than the president?! Nobody is higher than the president in this country!"
"Now you have it. I am nobody!" said Nasrudin.
