TIT FOR TAT A Landowner was brought by one of his farmers a roasted chicken and a bottle of fruit juice. The landowner called his servant boy and told him to take the farmers gift to his house. Knowing how cunning the boy was, he explained to him that under the cloth there was a live bird and also a bottle of poison. He advised him not to uncover the gift on the way, for if he did so, the bird would fly away and even the smell of the poison in the bottle was enough to kill him. The boy, knowing his master only too well, found a comfortable corner, and not only ate the roasted chicken, but also drank away the delicious juice to the last drop. When, at lunch time, the landowner went to his house, he asked his wife to bring him food. His wife asked him to wait as the meal was not yet cooked. The landowner, thinking of the farmer's gift, said to his wife that the chicken and the juice which he had sent through his servant would be good enough. He was very surprised and angry when his wife told him that she had not seen the boy since the morning. Without losing a minute, the landowner ran back to his place to work, and there he found his servant fast asleep. He shouted and kicked the boy to wake him up. Then he angrily enquired about the farmer's gift. The boy said, "O Master, on the way to your house a strong wind blew away the cloth which covered the bird and it flew off. I was afraid you would punish me, so I drank the poison which was in the bottle. And now, the boy continued, "I am lying down here waiting for death to come". 1.
