There was a terrible drought. After a long deliberation, the villagers decided to approach Nasrudin, who was known to work miracles on occasion, and ask for his intervention in bringing the rain. The whole community went over to Nasrudin's hut and the elders stated their request.
"Sorry," said Nasrudin, "There will be no miracle - you have no faith."
"But Nasrudin, how can you say that?" said the villagers, "After all, is it not our faith that brought us to your door, begging for help?"
"If you really had faith," said Nasrudin, "You would have come with umbrellas."
