Peterboy, would you like me to repost your first posts here whilst you're enjoying correcting the shortcomings of others like a young jaf??
Hodja had become very close friends with the king. His wise and humorous remarks made him one of the king's favourites. One day the king was extremely hungry, so the palace chef prepared some eggplants. They were so delicious that the king told the chef to serve the dish every day. 'Is this not the very best vegetable in the world, Hodja?' he asked. 'Yes your majesty, the very best,' he replied.
Five days later, after the same eggplant dish has been served for his fifth straight meal, the kind roared: 'Take this food away! it's awful!' 'Yes, your majesty. This is the worst dish in the world' said Hodja. 'But didn't you say only a few days ago that was the best?' 'Yes I did your majesty, but I'm the servant of the king, not of the vegetable!'
