A Crane With One Leg
An Italian gentleman prepared a rich banquet. He invited many acquaintances.
During the banquet they were to have roast crane to eat.
The cook had a girl friend. When he roasted the crane, she asked the cook
to give her a leg of the crane. For love he finally decided to give one leg to her.
When the banquet began, the cook had to take out the crane with one
leg. The gentleman noticed this and called the cook's attention to it.
"Respected gentleman", answered the cook, "A crane has only one
leg!"
The gentleman was offended with the cook for his lying.
Next day, the gentleman took a gun and called the cook to follow him and
said: "Lets go to see if a crane has one or two legs." Hearing this, the cook
began to be afraid but he could do nothing except following him.
They arrived at a marsh, where there were many cranes. The cranes seemed
one-legged, hiding another one in feathers.
"Your Excellency, look, each crane has one leg." The cook said.
"Oh, I will prove the opposite." Saying this the gentleman began cry out:
"U-U---UĦħ. The cranes began to fly and showed the second leg.
"Your Majesty, but yesterday you didn't cry out: "U_U___U"
The gentleman admired the clever answer of the cook and pardoned him.
