Mulla's Hospitality

Written story
Mulla was sitting in his field when a man on horseback rode by. Trying to be polite, Mulla called out, "Welcome! Please, come on in!" The rider hopped off his horse and asked, "Thank you! Where should I tie my horse?" Realizing his fake politeness had backfired, Mulla muttered, "To the tip of my tongue."
