One day, a rich man said to his cook, “I’ve invited my best friend to dinner at home tomorrow evening. I want you to buy the best food in the world for him. It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or cheap. It has to be the tastiest.”
The following evening, dinner was served to the master and his guest. They ate cow’s tongue, goat’s tongue, pig’s tongue and deer’s tongue – nothing else. The guest was surprised at the strange dinner while the master was very angry with the cook. He was worried that his friend might think he did not treasure their friendship. When the guest had left, the rich man asked his cook, “Why did you serve us with nothing else but tongues for dinner?” “Sir,” replied the cook, “You wanted the best thing in the world for your guest. Tongues tell us the most wonderful things you ever wish to hear. They are the best things.”
“Then, for the next dinner, I want you to get the worst thing in the world,” the master said. When the next dinner was served, the master had the same thing – tongues. “Why do you serve me tongues again?” he asked. “Sir, tongues tell lies. They cause a lot of trouble in the world.
