It’s the Former.

One day Nasreddin went down town. It was very hot. He


wanted to take a bath. So, he went to a public bathroom.

At that time he wore a shabby dress. The man in charge


of the bathroom did not care of him so much that the
man just gave him a small piece of soap and an old dirty
towel. Then he took a bath in that public bathroom.

After taking a bath, Nasreddin gave the man two gold


coins happily. He did not show any disappointment on
his face for the poor service. The guard was very
surprised and thought Nasreddin should have given him
much more money if his service was better.

A week later Nasreddin came back to the same


public bathroom. He wanted to take a bath there. The
guard welcomed him warmly with a nice smile. He was
treated like a king. He was given the best towel and
fragrant soap. The guard also gave him a massage. After
taking a bath, Nasreddin gave the guard two coins with
the cheapest value.

The guard stared at him confusedly.


Nasreddin said, “The money is for the former
service. And the gold coins last week were for your
service now”.
