Once, a man was travelling. On his way, he met a family. The traveller said, “I have to travel a long way. Can I stay with you for the night?” The family not only welcomed him but also gave him some food to eat. In the evening, they gave the traveller meat and some milk. He was so hungry that he ate it all up. The man in the house asked the traveller, “Where are you going?” The traveller replied, “I am going to see a doctor. I can’t eat very much.” The man in the house was shocked and said, “You say that you have a bad appetite. Please do not return this way after you have got medicine for your bad appetite.” Then, the man said to his family, “How much will he eat after he has got the medicine?” He laughed and said, “Now he eats only one sheep. When he returns from the doctor, he will eat ten sheep.”
