The Supper

One day, a wise man decides to invite the greatest thinkers and philosophers from the different corners of the earth to his home for supper. The host prepares dishes from all over the world to impress his guests, and furthermore: plants a riddle on them.

There were 3 distinguish guests whom decided to come to this supper.

Once in his home, the host begins to address his guests:

"Sushi. Raw fish! Yet to the Japanese's heart and soul, this fish is fully cooked and ready to be eaten. Fine dish, is it not?" states the host. 'Well," answers his first guest. "Hearts and souls can be changed after a tasty McDonald's French fries. And besides: Japanese people come to America, and their offspring's forsake their sushi for McDonalds's French fries everyday. So Sushi is not the perfect food." replies the host's first guest.

"Black beans and rice." To the Cubans this represents their cultivated and hard worked fields." states the host to the second guest, and the second guest answers: "Fields represented by hard work and sweat do not the mind cultivate. I say to thee, Cuban's offspring's will trade their black beans and rice for a tasty American Cheeseburger in a heartbeat." replied the second guest.

"Corn tortillas and cheese. To the Mexicans this represents life and hard work, and few peoples are as hard working as the Mexicans are." the host says to the third guest, and the third guest replies: "hard work is hardly something to be proud of. For if thee has to work hard, it must mean that thee is poor. And being poor is hardly something to be proud of." replies the third guest.

One hour later, a clown knocks at the door. When the host answers the door, the clown says: "I've been walking to and fro upon the earth looking for something tasty to eat, has thou anything for me to nourish myself with?" the host replies: "but of course silly clown, come on in and partake in our feast."

The clown comes inside and is now seated at the table. He starts to look around and is amazed with all the abundance of food that surrounds him, and then he asks: "where is the bread?" "Bread!" the host replies. "Yes bread!" the clown answers, and then the host says: "thou is the wisest amongst all of my guests. For thou has solved the riddle which is: man does not live by bread alone." The clown then stares at the host for a few seconds and replies back: "then thou has not tasted the breads served in fine New York Italians restaurants. For those breads are tasty and good enough to live on for the rest of one's life...."
