Mullah Nasrudin the priest and the minister

Mullah Nasrudin was walking in the countryside with a priest and a minister. It was a hot day and they were sweating profusely. Nasrudin cried aloud, “Dear God, we are three of your hard working servants, please let us find solace from this heat.”
Just then they came to a large pond. Since there was no one around and they had no swimming custumes, they quickly disrobed and began cooling themselves as God had created them.
Unfortunately some mischievous children discovered their clerical robes and took them for fun and started screaming for the villagers to come and look.
The priest and the minister ran out of the pond covering their genitals. Nasrudin too ran out but he covered his face. The minister said, “Don’t you have any shame. Why do cover your face?”
Nasrudin replied, “That’s the part of my anatomy my congregation knows.”



Is there message in this story?

It seems to me that Nasrudin, the muslim was more concerned about protecting his image and good name as a religious leader, where as the priest and minister were concerned about maintaining modesty.

What do you think? Who is right?
