T0108. Eating Duck Soup

Nasruddin tries to catch ducks in pond. He doesn't catch any ducks; instead, he falls in. He dips bread in pond water. Someone asks what he's doing. "I'm eating duck soup!" he says.

Notes:

Here's my short version:

Nasruddin was carrying a fresh loaf of bread home to have for dinner. He saw some ducks in a pond and decided he would catch one to take home. That way he would have more than just bread to eat for his supper!
Not only did he fail to catch the duck, he fell into the pond. He then got out the bread and started eating it, dipping each piece in the water.
“What are you doing?” asked a passerby.
“I’m eating duck soup!” Nasruddin replied.
