A man and his wife had a small restaurant near a train station. The restaurant often stayed open until after
midnight, because people came to drink and have meals while they were waiting for trains.
At two o'clock one morning, a farmer was still sitting at a table there. He was asleep. The wife of the
owner of the restaurant was very sleepy and wanted to go to bed. She looked at the farmer several times and
waited for him to wake and go, but each time she looked, the farmer was still there sleeping. Then at last she
went to her husband and said to him,"You have woken him six times now, but why haven't you sent him
away? It's very late."
"Oh, no, I don't want to send him away," answered her husband with a smile."You see, whenever I wake
him up, he asks for his bill, and when I give him the bill, he pays it and then goes to sleep again."
