Mulla was eating eggplant stew with a friend. Mulla asked, "What do you think of eggplant stew?" His friend went on and on about how delicious and nutritious it was. But after they ate their fill, the eggplant sat heavy in Mulla’s stomach, and he started complaining about how terrible and gross it was. Testing his friend, Mulla asked again, "Seriously, what kind of food is eggplant?" His friend immediately agreed, "It's awful, completely indigestible." Mulla said, "Wait a minute, earlier you were singing its praises!" His friend replied, "Hey, I'm your friend, not the eggplant's friend. I tell you what you want to hear."
