One sunny day, Nasreddin Hodja took a spoonful of yogurt and walked to the lake near his village. The sky was bright blue, and birds were singing. Hodja leaned down and began to stir the yogurt into the lake.

Some villagers saw him and ran over in surprise.

“Hodja, what are you doing?” they asked.

With a calm smile, Hodja replied,

“I am making yogurt out of the lake.”

The villagers laughed loudly.

“That’s impossible! A lake can never turn into yogurt!”

But Hodja did not stop. He dropped the spoon into the water and said kindly,

“Well… what if it does?”

The villagers walked away laughing, but Hodja’s words stayed in their hearts. From that day on, whenever someone in the village tried something difficult or seemed impossible, people smiled and said,

“Don’t forget… What if it works?”
