Two Glasses of Beer
Stone and Zenger were walking along a road one hot summer’s noon. They were very thirsty and wanted very much to have a glass of cold beer, but they had no money in their pockets.
“I can get some beer for us without money,” said Stone. “Come with me.”
They went to a bar about kilometer away. It was lunchtime and a lot of people were in the bar. The owner was selling drinks at one end of the long counter and a waiter was selling drinks at the other end.
“My friend and I can’t agree,” Stone went up to the owner and said, “ I said there are two glasses in a liter and he says there are four.”
“You are right,” said the owner, “ There are only tow glasses in a liter.” “Thank you,” said Stone, and went over to where Zenger was standing at the other end of the counter. He asked for two glasses of beer and told the waiter that the owner was going to pay for it. Then he called out loudly, “ You did say two glasses, didn’t you,owner?” “Yes, that’s right, two glasses,” the owner called back. So they drank the beer with great enjoyment and then walked out of the bar.
