Nasrettin Hoja was seen stooping at the shores of Lake Akshehir, spooning yogurt (or madzoon, as we Armenians call it) into the lake.
"What are you doing," the townspeople asked him.
"I'm going to make the lake turn into yogurt," answered Nasrettin Hoja.
"That's not possible," scoffed the townspeople.
"But what if it is?" countered Nasrettin Hoja.
[Note: Madzoon is made by heating milk to just boiling, cooling it and when it is at just the right temperature -- not too hot, not too cool -- adding and stirring in a tablespoon of madzoon which has been mixed with some of that warm milk, bringing the total mixture -- madzoon and milk -- to the same temperature. Cover the bowl, wrap the bowl in towels, set aside, and the next day, you will have madzoon!)
