Although Nasreddin was a poor man, but he was very fond of fish which were quite expensive at that time. He, however, had saved a sufficient amount of money for about three months to buy fish. Then, he went to the market to buy two kilograms of fish.
He brought them home. When he arrived home, he said to his wife, "My dear, I just bought two kilograms of fish. I will invite our friends to have dinner here. They also like fish very much. Let alone, they often invited us to eatand we haven't done so. So, cook the fish and I'm inviting then."
At about 7 o'clock in the evening Nasreddin went home with his friends. They went to the dining table right away. But Nasreddin was very surprised to see no fish there. "Who has eaten up the fish?" Nasreddin askes his wife. "Who else? It's your greedy cat," answered his wife.
Nasreddin was very ashamed with his friends. There was no fish as he had promised his friends before. At last, they had dinner with simple soup only.
After his friends went home, Nasreddin caught his cat. Then he went to a small shop nearby. There he weighed his cat carefully. It weighed two kilograms only. He seemed very confused. After he thanked the shop owner, he went home.
He said to his wife, "The fish were two kilograms. You said that they were eaten up by the cat." "That's right," his wife said quickly. "I just weighed the cat. It weighs two kilograms only. You said that the two-kilogram fish are inside its belly. So, where's my cat?" Nasreddin asked his wife anngrily.
