A guest
visited a family from afar. Though the host had many chickens and ducks milling
around his courtyard, he told his guest that he didn't dare to ask him to stay
for dinner due to his shortage of suitable food for dinner. The guest instantly
asked the host to lend him a knife to kill his riding horse so they could eat it
for dinner.
The host asked," Then,
how can you ride home?"
The guest answered," Just
lend me one of your fowls to ride."
