Once a landowner sent a couple of turkeys with a man to the pastor. He also enclosed a letter. On the way, the man turned into a tavern with the turkeys, where he met some friends. One turkey was drunk with vodka. When the turkey was already eaten, the man realized what he had done, but he spat and went to the pastor. He comes to the pastor, gives him the turkey and the letter, and remains in the hallway. A little later the pastor comes out and shouts:
-Where is the second turkey? The letter says here that the master is sending me two turkeys!
“This is the second turkey,” the man answers.
– I’m asking you, where is the second turkey?
- Yes, this is the second turkey, Mr. Pastor! The pastor got so angry that he kicked the guy out. The man immediately went back to the tavern. His friends are surprised how the pastor didn’t skin him. And the man says:
“Like a fool, he insists: where is the second turkey?” And I say - this is the second one. If he had asked where the first one was, it would have been a different matter!
