The rabbit's owner,

A farmer gave a rabbit as a gift to a wise man, the wise man invited the farmer to the house, and gave him lunch, and he ate and left.

The second week the farmer returned again, the wise man didn’t recognize him, and asked him: Who are you?

The farmer said: Sir I'm who brought the rabbit as a gift to you a week ago.

The wise man rushed into the house and gave him lunch; he ate and then left.

A few days later four farmers came, the wise man asked them: Who are you?

They said: We are the neighbors of the rabbit's owner, the wise man welcomed them and invited them to his house. Then he gave them lunch, they ate and left.

A week later some of the farmers came to him , and they told him that they are the neighbors of the rabbit owner's neighbors, immediately he got up and brought them a pot full of hot water. And said to them: "Please eat this" when they tried to eat, they surprised by what they saw, and they asked: "What is this, sir?"

He said: "This is the broth of the rabbit's broth, O my neighbors of the rabbit owner’s neighbors!."

Yes Lady Anne, the wise man has lost his patience from the exploitation of these people to him, so he deal with them by the same method. Thank you for your comment.

The wise man indeed dealt with them wisely. This story shows how a wise man must react on a situation that calls for handling foolish people.

I am always amused when reading stories of this kind. Thanks, Samuel!
