A visiting Emperor ate a meal of sheep meat in Nasrudin’s restaurant. When the Emperor finished his meal, he asked Nasrudin how much to pay.
“Fifty dollars,” Nasrudin confidently responded.
Surprised to hear such a high figure, the Emperor exclaimed, “Wow that is very expensive. Are sheep rare in this part of town?”
“No, not really,” Nasrudin replied. “What’s rare around here are visits from wealthy Emperors!”
