One day a peasant visited Istanbul for the first time. He was greatly surprised by the many minarets of this city. He said himself, "What lot of beautiful minarets there are here!"
A man who saw the peasant staring at the minarets with such fascination asked him, "Friend, why are you looking so much at house minarets?"
"Aren't they strange, with their sharp-pointed tops? I wonder why we do not have any of these in my village?"
"I suppose it is because you do not have the seeds for them." The man said.
"Do they grow from seeds?"
"Let us go together," said the man, "and buy some minaret seeds. Take these to your village and sow them, and then you too will have minarets, just like those you see everywhere here." He took the peasant to a seed store where he bought him some carrot seeds. He gave these to the peasant, who was greatly excited at the prospect of growing tall minarets in his own village.
As soon as her returned to his village. The peasant planted the seeds in his garden. He waited and waited for the minarets. The man at Istanbul had told him the minarets should be fully grown within six month's time, but at the roots to see what was the matter with them. When he dug up one plant, he found in the ground a carrot half a metre in length. The peasant exclaimed, "Well, that Istanbul man wasn't a liar, after all. I must have planted the seeds upside down."
