- You are seriously lacking in tannins and fiber. You need to eat plenty of green fruits, and make sure to eat them with the skin on, no peeling.

- Has eating fruit this way made any difference?
- Not at all! Peaches, pears, apples, grapes... all fine, but... the coconut takes quite a while to eat.
After tasting some food on his plate, the husband turned to his wife and asked:
- What dish is this that you cooked for me?
- Why are you asking about the dish name today?– Well, the doctor will probably ask me that later anyway.

Fearing that others might notice and it would ruin his reputation, he casually handed a piece of cake to the student and said:
- Here, take this!
As he handed it over, the teacher winked, signaling the student to hide it for him. The student, not understanding the wink, thought the teacher was giving it to him and immediately started eating it.
The teacher saw this and was furious, but since there were many people around, he didn’t dare scold him. As they were leaving, the teacher still felt regretful about the cakes and wanted to find an excuse to punish the student. As they walked side by side, the teacher suddenly scolded the student:
- Why are you walking next to me like we’re equals?

- Sir, no matter how I walk, you scold me. Could you please tell me how I should walk properly?

- Where’s my cake?

The wife, worried her husband would embarrass her with his rude eating, came up with an idea: she tied a string around his ankle, holding the other end in her hand and whispered to him:
- You can only grab food when I pull the string.
The husband agreed. As they sat down, everyone noticed he was eating with grace and manners. The wife, meanwhile, sat in the kitchen cleaning and occasionally tugging the string. At times, she forgot to tug, and the husband, eyes glued to the food, started salivating. Her father had to serve him. In the middle of the meal, a chicken ran past and got caught on the string. It tugged so hard that the husband thought his wife was giving him free rein to eat. He grabbed the entire plate of food and put it in his bowl!
