Nasreddin and his friend went into the dining room and, in order to save money, decided to share one portion of eggplants. They argued bitterly about whether to stew or fry them.
Tired and hungry, Nasreddin relented and they ordered stewed eggplants.
While they were waiting, his companion suddenly became completely weak and seemed to be in a very bad way. Nasreddin jumped up.
- Are you going to get the doctor? - asked someone at the next table.
- What a fool! Of course not! - Nasreddin yelled. “I’m going to see if it’s not too late to change the order.”
