Sharing a Drink

The sun was shining brightly. Nasreddin and his friend were going to the market. They walked through the street along which there were no trees at all. They felt hot and thirsty. They wanted to buy a glass of milk but they did not have enough money. Then they collected their money and bought a glass of milk with it. Before buying the milk, they promised to share the milk.

"Now, let's share the drink. You'll drink half a glass and I will drink the rest," said Nasreddin. His friend said, "You drink first, Nasreddin." "Why?" Nasreddin asked. "I bring a little sugar with me. This is enough for half a glass of milk only, I'll put the sugar into my share only," said his friend. "Put it into the milk, now. I'll drink half a glass," said Nasreddin. "No, this sugar is enough for half a glass only."

Then Nasreddin ran to the small shop nearby and bought a pack of salt that was very cheap. Then he went back to his friend. "There's good news for you," said he, "As we have agreed I'll drink my share first. Since I have a pack of salt, I'll put it into the milk. I'll drink first and then you. You can put your sugar after I drink my milk with my salt."
