How a peasant didn't pay for scrambled eggs
Enlight

One peasant traveled to Havana every year and every time he ate a couple of fried eggs there.

But they once told him at the hotel that he had not paid for the scrambled eggs that he had eaten last year. The peasant did not want to pay - they charged him too much for those eggs, because they were already one year old. They argued and argued, and in the end the owner sued the peasant. The judge asks:

- Why are you so late in paying for the scrambled eggs?

“Mr. Judge,” the peasant answers, “I couldn’t come earlier, I was roasting maize for sowing.”

The judge was surprised:

- How are you going to sow fried maize?

He won't come up...

Then the peasant said:

- How come you demand so much money from me for the eggs you ate last year? After all, the chickens won’t hatch from them?
