One day they invited Nasreddin to visit. Just as he was after work, he went there without going home or changing clothes. The owners saw that he was wearing old and shabby clothes and put him in the farthest corner of the room.
They called Nasreddin to the same house again. Nasreddin put on a new churk - a weekend coat lined with fur - and went to visit. The owners saw that he was wearing a new rich sheepskin coat and seated him at the head of the table.
When the hosts and guests began to eat, Nasreddin picked up half a log, put it in a pot with chorba and said:
- Since you are so honored, my chump, then you eat this meat and slurp this chorba!
