Comic strip: Floating a company- Mulla Nasruddin tale

This tale is in two strips.

Strip #1

Mulla Nasruddin set up a company: Export and Import. It was in the middle of nowhere. No matter. One came as if his shirt tails were on fire. He had an umbrella made out of palm leaves ready to fall apart.

Mulla Nasruddin was amazed. All he had unsettled bills of his previous  company and a basket full of IOUs.

“Are you going to relieve my misery, what?” Mulla asked.

I leave no address; nor do I tell where I come from. But here I see a man who needs shade. ” He held out his umbrella over Mulla who was under the weather.

Days passed and the stranger became a regular fixture.. When told his sure fire formula to profit from caravan passing through the stranger said, ” So you have unpaid bills, and mountain of debts. So what ?”

Mulla was flabbergasted. “Do you have a way to clear my debts Without a sweat?”

The man smiled and said,”You see the fellows running towards us. All we need is to sell  all the IOUs for ready cash. They can collect from the caravans so these take care of export and import for us.”

“Who are we? I can do my business myself.” Mulla sent him off.
