The miser is in for a treat
In ancient times, there was a miser, although he had a lot of money, but he regarded money as his life, and he did not pull out a dime on weekdays, so he was called "Iron Rooster".
One day, the miser suddenly has a whim and wants to feast on his relatives and friends to show his generosity. He thought to himself, "If I don't put on a show, I'm afraid people will really be stingy with me." So he sent his servants everywhere and sent invitations to his guests, saying that he was going to hold a feast in his house and entertain his guests.
When the news spread, everyone was shocked. Someone privately discussed: "When did this iron rooster become so generous?" and someone laughed: "I'm afraid that this miser wants to make money in the name of hospitality." ”
On the day of the banquet, relatives and friends came as promised, only to see the miser's house in front of the lanterns, so lively. However, when they entered, they saw only a few simple tables with a few small dishes on them, and nothing else.
Everyone looked at each other, and muttered to themselves in their hearts: "This miser really deserves his name, such a scene, where is it like a treat?"
Seeing that everyone was displeased, the miser coughed twice and said, "Everyone, today's cold house has a little wine, which is not a respect." Everyone, please use it, and you're welcome. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't cry or laugh. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tie, your wine and food are too shabby, aren't they?"
The miser replied solemnly, "Where, where, I have carefully selected the finest dishes, if you don't like it, it is a different taste, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and secretly said in their hearts: "This miser is really hopeless." ”
At this moment, a guest dressed in a gorgeous costume stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Tie, since you have already set up a banquet, why don't you invite some musicians to help the fun?
When the miser heard this, his brows furrowed, and he secretly calculated in his heart: "Musician, that will cost a lot of money!" He thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Don't be impatient, everyone, I'll go and invite someone to help entertain." ”
With that, the miser turned and went into the inner room, and after a while, he led an old man in ragged clothes out. When everyone saw this, they were all surprised.
The miser triumphantly introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the musician I invited, he is good at blowing the flute, and his melodious tone will definitely help everyone drink." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't laugh or cry. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tie, why do you look like this musician?"
The miser replied indifferently, "Although the appearance is poor, the skill is a must." If you don't believe it, listen to him play a song. ”
With that, the miser motioned for the old man to play. When the old man saw this, he had to pick up the flute and play it. However, his flute sound is intermittent, sometimes high and sometimes low, and it sounds very funny.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, some laughed forward and backward, and some laughed so much that they covered their stomachs. Seeing this, the miser was full of pride, and seemed to be quite satisfied with his "masterpiece".
The feast ended with laughter. Although the miser spends very little, he also has a reputation as a "laughing stock". Since then, people have laughed at the mention of this incident, laughing at the miser's feast as "the miser's feast".
It's the miser's joke. After reading this story, you can't help but laugh? However, after laughing, we may think about it: being stingy is certainly a bad character, but sometimes, being too stingy can also put people in an embarrassing situation. In interpersonal interactions, we should learn to be modest and generous, so that we can not only win the respect of others, but also make ourselves happier. So, what do you understand from this joke? full of laughter, attention and likes, and joy!
