@nixCraft@mastodon.social Nasreddin Hoja beats up a kid before sending him to get water from the river with a clay bucket, saying "Don't break the bucket!" The neighbors see this and say "Hoja! Why are you hitting the kid? He didn't do anything!" Nasreddin Hoja replies "Because when the bucket breaks, it will already be too late." Take whatever you want from this story.
