Lesson 244

2) Nasreddin's wife, the cat and the fish Nasreddin liked fish very much, and when having enough money, he went to the market, bought one for dinner, and brought it home. But when his wife saw the fish, she always thought by herself that she would that day invite her friends to eat fish because they liked fish. So the fish was never there when Nasreddin came home in the evening after work. Then his wife always said that his cat was a very bad animal and had swallowed it. And that was why Nasreddin repeatedly only got soup and rice for dinner. But one evening, when this happened again, Nasreddin got very angry. He took the cat and his wife to the store near his home and carefully weighed the cat. Then he turned to his wife and said, "My fish weighed two kilos, and this cat weighs two kilos too, my fish is here, you say, and where is my cat then?"
