VIKRAM KARVE
Mulla Nasrudin called a small boy and told him to get water from the well.
While giving the small boy an earthenware pot to get the water, Mulla Nasrudin looked into the eyes of the small boy and said, “Make sure you don’t break the pot,” and then suddenly he gave the boy a tight slap.

A shocked spectator asked Nasrudin, "Why did you hit the boy? How can you punish someone who hasn’t done anything wrong?"
“Because, you fool,” said Nasrudin, “what is the point of punishing the boy after he broke the pot...? ”
