The rich man saw a poor peasant on the street, approached him and said: “Dear, go take that bag of bottles and take it to my home, and I will give you good advice, and you will not be so poor.” “Very good,” answered the peasant, he put the sack on his shoulder and walked next to the rich man. “Dear,” the rich man said on the way, “if they tell you that oat bread is better than gata, don’t believe it; if they tell you that pure butter is better than rotten cheese, don’t believe it again.”
So they reached the rich man's house. As they walked up the steps, the peasant suddenly dropped the bag and said: “Yeah, if they say that at least one bottle remains intact, don’t believe it.”
