Judith went fishing one day. She waited all day, but could not catch a single fish. ‘What will I cook for dinner? Everone will make fun of me at home,’ she thought. Then she had an idea. She stopped by the fish market on her way back home and asked for two trouts. She told the fishmonger, “My husband and children needn’t know that I had a bad day at fishing. I can show them the trouts and tell them I spent the whole day looking for these.” The fishmonger said, “In that case, I suggest you take home the catfish.” “Why?” asked Judith. The fishmonger replied, “Your husband and children were here a while ago. They guessed you must have had a bad fishing day and must be exhausted. They told me that you should take catfish, if you came by, since you can prepare it in a jiffy.” Judith was embarrassed.
