Nasreddin had an old shed. It had no windows, so it was very dark, and it was full of old things. One day Nasreddin went into this shed to get a ladder, but slipped on something and fell against a big garden fork.

نصرالدین یک انبار قدیمی داشت. آن پنجره نداشت، بنابراین خیلی تاریک بود، و آن پر از وسایل قدیمی بود. روزی نصرالدین داخل این انبار شد تا نردبانی بردارد، اما روی چیزی سرخورد و مقابل یک سه شاخه باغبانی بزرگ افتاد.

The fork hit him on the head and knocked him down. Then it fell on top of him and hit him hard on the left leg. The ends of the fork then went into his long beard. He fought with the fork fiercely, and at last threw it off him, jumped up and ran out of the shed. He was very angry.

سه شاخه به سر او خورد و او را به زمین کوبید. سپس روی او افتاد و به شدت به پای چپش ضربه زد. بعد انتهای سه شاخه داخل ریش بلند او رفت. او شدیدا با آن جنگید، و در آخر آن را دور انداخت،از جا پرید و از انبار بیرون دوید. او خیلی عصبانی بود.

He had an old sword under his bed, and he now ran and got this. Then he ran back to the shed, opened the door suddenly and shouted in a terrible voice, ‘All right, come out and fight, you and all the other forks in the world! I’m not afraid of you!’

او شمشیری قدیمی زیر تختش داشت، و دوید و آن را گرفت. سپس او به طرف انبار دوید، ناگهان در را باز کرد و با صدای وحشتناکی داد زد: “خیلی خب، تو و همه سه شاخه های دنیا، بیایید بیرون و بجنگید! من از شما نمی ترسم!”
