A Butter story!
Hoja Mulla used to crave different kinds of food at different times. This was because after attending grand feasts, he would get cravings for such food for a while.
Once, on his way back from a party, his mind was full of butter. Hoja had just eaten some delicious dishes made with butter.
As soon as he entered the house, he asked his wife, Amina, "Hey, do we have any butter in the kitchen? The taste is fantastic. If you make a dish with it, it will be wonderful. It will improve your eyesight and make you more beautiful."
His wife replied without much enthusiasm, "It's been a long time since we bought butter. Why don't you go to the market and get some?"
In an instant, he said, "Eating food with butter will make you fat. And it might also upset your stomach."
Hearing this, Amina was astonished. "First you praised butter as a good thing. Now you say it's bad. Why are you talking like this?"
Hoja laughed and said, "If we have butter in our kitchen, it's good. If we don't, it's bad!"
