T0451. Sharpening the Knife for a Feast

Nasruddin shot two quail and is going to roast them, inviting a rich neighbor to dinner. His wife nibbles at the quails and eats them all. She gives her husband a knife to grind for carving birds and tells the neighbor that he's getting ready to cut off his ears. She then tells Nasruddin the neighbor took the two birds. Nasruddin runs after the man, shouting, "Let me have just one!" The neighbor sees the knife and runs faster.

Notes: Suresha has a version about balls, not ears.
