Nasruddin and the Candle

One day the friends of Mullah Nasruddin got together to celebrate his birthday. As they were talking Nasruddin tboasted to his friends that he could do anything. One of his friends challenged him to stay the night at Snow Mountain. Snow Mountain was the coldest place in their country. The next day Nasruddin set off for Snow Mountain to spend the night. He took some candles and a book.
The next morning he returned and went to his friends to tell them that he had spent the night at Snow Mountain. They didn't believe it because he had taken candles.
He invited his friends over for dinner. All the friends came but the dinner wasn't ready. They waited until midnight and then went into the kitchen where they saw Nasruddin trying to cook soup in a large saucepan with a candle.
