Two
Bottles Of Water
There was an old school teacher who liked to drink wine. He always kept
several bottles of good wine in his mouth. As he had to go out one day, he was
worried that his servant would drink his wine. Then he thought of a way to stop
him from doing so.
“I am going out for the day,” he told his servant. “Please look after the
house for me. There is some ham and two bottles of water in the cupboard. There
is also a chicken in the kitchen. But as soon as he left, his servant killed
the chicken and cooked it for dinner. He then ate both the chicken and the ham
and drank the two bottles of wine. He felt sleepy and went to bed.
The school teacher returned home later that evening. He was surprised to
find that the chicken, ham and two bottles of wine had disappeared. He then saw
his servant lying asleep in bed. There were two empty bottles by his side. He
shook him by the shoulder.
“What has happened?” he asked.
“I am very sorry,” his servant replied. “As soon as you left, a cat jumped
in through the window and ate the ham. A dog then chased and caught the
chicken. I knew you would be very angry with me when you returned, so I tried
to kill myself by drinking the poison. Please excuse me.” The old school
teacher did not believe him but there was nothing he could do.
