POUND OF BUTTER


                         There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. 

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, Your Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale. The judge asked. Then how do you weight the Butter ? The farmer replied, Your Honor long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him.

Everyday when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and gave him the same weigh in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.

"We get, What we give".
