The miser sat at home and ate bread with honey. An acquaintance came to see him. The miser fussed, hid the bread, but did not have time to hide the honey.
“Well, nothing!” he thinks. “He won’t eat honey alone!”
The miser thought so, pushed the honey to the guest and suggested:
- Do you want some honey?
- Thank you! – the guest was delighted and began to gobble up honey on both cheeks. The miser endured it for a long time, finally he couldn’t stand it and said:
– You shouldn’t eat so much honey! Otherwise your heart will hurt!
The guest smiled and asked:
- Whose? Yours?
