A wealthy man invited an עני for a meal. Shortly after they sat down to eat, the host noticed the guest lifting a silver spoon from the table and placing it in his pocket. He remained silent. As the meal was ending about an hour later, he saw the עני do it again. Another spoon went into his pocket. As the guest was about to leave, his host said to him: “What are my spoons doing in your pocket?” The guest replied: “I’ve been sick and the doctor prescribed that I take a spoon every hour.”
