37. Nasreddin liked fish very much

Nasreddin liked fish very much, and when he had enough money, he bought some for his dinner when he went to the market, and took it home. But when hi? wife saw the fish, she always said to herself, ‘Good! Now I will invite my friends to lunch an d we will eat this fish. They like fish very much.’
So whe n Nasreddin came home in the evening after his work, the fish was never there, and his wife always said, ‘Oh, your cat ate it! She is a very bad animal!’ And she gave Nasreddin soup and rice for his dinner. But one evening when this happened, Nasreddin became very angry. He took the cat and his wife to the shop near his house and weighed the cat carefully. Then he turned to his wife and said, ‘My fish weighed two kilos. This cat weighs two kilos too. My fish is here, you say. Then where is my cat?’
