The Delicious Recipe

Written story
Mulla bought some fresh liver from the butcher. On his way home, he ran into a friend who gave him a fantastic, step-by-step written recipe for cooking it to perfection. Mulla put the recipe in his pocket and set the liver down for a moment to rest. Suddenly, a crow swooped down, grabbed the liver, and flew off. Realizing he couldn't catch it, Mulla pulled the piece of paper out of his pocket and yelled up at the crow, "You idiot! You should have taken the recipe too, it would have tasted a lot better!"
