what a nice story...

Yes,I think this story is trying to teach a lesson.Many lesson we can learn just by read this short story,Nasreddin Hodja and the candles.One of the lesson is is we should not make a bargain if we know that we are not afford to make it but if you lose in that bargain just admit, that is your mistake cause make bargain  that you not able to do it,In other hand this story make me impressed.How could we can warm our body just by looking at a candles about hundred meters.That impossible...it make me realize that importance of our mind setting.If we think positive so it will be positive.The last bu not least is we should not bragging with unnecessary thing cause it will annoying ANYONE around you except your best friend cause she more understanding.
