Nasreddin like fish very much,
and when he had enough money, he bought some for his dinner when he went to the
market, and took it home. But when his wife saw fish, she always said to
herself, ‘Good!
Now I will invite my friends to lunch and we will eat this fish. They like fish
very much.’
So when Nasreddin came home in
the evening after his work, the fish was never there, and his wife always said,
‘Oh,
your cat ate it !
She is a very bad animal !’ And she gave
Nasreddin soup and rice for his dinner.
But one evening when this happened, Nasreddin became
very angry. He took the cat and his wife to the shop near his house and weighed
the cat carefully. Then he turned to his wife and said, ‘My fish weighed two
kilos. This cat weighs two kilos too. My fish is here you say. Then where is my
cat ?’
