FINISHING TOUCH
When the host realized he had more dinner guests than the amount of wine could satisfy them, he hit upon an idea.
I’m sorry I don’t have enough wine for all of you,” he said. “But it is more than sufficient for one man. May I suggest that each of you draw a snake and whoever finishes first will drink the wine?
The guests agreed and began drawing. One man finished first and took the wine.
Well, let me add a few legs to the snake?” he said. Before he could finish, another man completed his drawing. He snatched the wine from the first man.
Snakes have no legs,” he said. “Why are you adding them? Now I am the first to finish drawing.
With these words, he drank up the wine.
