The Caretaker!

 At one point in time, Hodja Mulla was living in the town of Akşehir in Turkey, working as the caretaker of an inn.

One day, Emperor Huzur and his followers unexpectedly came by. Since they were tired, they entered Hodja's inn to rest.

Hodja was very happy. He bowed respectfully and asked, "Huzur, what should I bring for you to eat?"

The emperor replied, "Bring me ten fried chicken eggs."

Hodja immediately gave them to the emperor. They tasted so delicious that Huzur asked, "Hodja, what price should I pay you for this food?"

Hodja said, "100 gold coins!"

Huzur was shocked to hear that.

"What are you saying? 100 gold coins for just ten eggs? These eggs aren't rare!"

At once, Hodja said, "That's true, Huzur. The eggs are not rare. But Huzur coming here is a rare thing!"

The emperor burst out laughing, gave him the hundred coins, and left.
