Word got around the village that the Hodja had a barrel of 40 year-old vinegar.
One day, his neighbor asked the Hodja: "Is it true that you have a barrel of 40 year-old vinegar?"
"Yes I do," replied the Hodja.
"Could you spare me a little cupful?" asked the neighbor.
"No." said the Hodja.
"No?" said the neighbour, "Why ever not?"
"If I gave a little cupful to everyone who asked for it," said the Hodja, "it would not be forty years old!"
