One day, Juha bought three kilos of lamb's meat in the market and took it home to his wife. After explaining to her how he would like to have it prepared for his dinner, he went out again. Juha's wife seasoned the meat and cooked it carefully. But it smelled so delicious that she sent for her brother and the two of them feasted on it until nothing was left. When Juha came home and asked for his dinner, his wife wailed, "While I was busy in the kitchen, the cat ran in and ate up the meat, and now I have nothing to give you for dinner." Juha grabbed the cat and set it on the scale, which tipped at exactly three kils. "If this is the meat," said Juha, "then where is the cat? And if this is the cat, then tell me where in the name of Allah is the meat?"
Happy reading.
