bringing out a bow and arrows 
and challenging him to 
demonstrate his supposed 
mastery.

missed the target completely, his

time, the arrow went further but still missed the target 
completely.

Another Excuse
When his amused friends questioned him, Nasruddin 
claimed this shot wasn't his either, but rather 
demonstrated how the chief guard would shoot.

Final Success
On his third attempt, Nasruddin aimed carefully and 
his arrow hit the target perfectly. Before anyone could 
speak, he proudly declared that this successful shot 
was indeed his own aim.

Key-Points
Shifting Responsibility
Nasruddin cleverly shifts 
blame to others when he 
fails, attributing his poor 
shots to how others would 
shoot. Yet when successful, 
he immediately claims the 
achievement as his own, 
highlighting our human 
tendency to distance 
ourselves from failure.
Pride Before a Fall
The story begins with 
Nasruddin's excessive 
boasting, creating a situation 
where he must either 
perform perfectly or face 
embarrassment. This 
illustrates how pride often 
precedes difficulties or 
humiliation.
Humour in Wisdom
Through humour, the story 
delivers a powerful message 
about humility and 
accountability. Nasruddin's 
quick-witted responses make 
us laugh whilst revealing 
truths about human 
behaviour.
