Real Plants?

Mullah Nasriddin used to water his plants daily. He would bring the container near the plants and pour from it. But no water would come out. But he kept pouring.

His neighbor Ameen saw Mullah Nasriddin doing this strange ritual often.

One day Ameen went over to Mullah Nasriddin and asked, "Excuse me, Nasriddin , I see you giving water to these plants everyday but I don't see water coming out from the container. What is this practice?"

Mullah Nasriddin smiled, "Let me tell you a secret, these plants are plastic."

Ameen is more confused and asks, "Then why is there any need of pretending to water these plastic plants?"

Mullah Nasriddin responds, "So that people would think these are real plants."
