Goha and the empty plate

Goha and the empty plate 
One day when Goha was young, his mother sent him to the market to fetch some salt and also some samneh or clarified butter. She gave him with a dish for the samneh and took it for granted that the grocer would wrap the salt in a piece of paper . When he reached the shop, Goha handed the dish he had brought to the shopkeeper, and asked him for the butter. He then turned the dish upside down, and told the grocer to place the salt on the bottom of the dish. At home he said to his mother, " Here is the salt, mother." "But, my son," said she, "where is the samneh?"
                                        

"Here," replied Goha, turning the dish right side up. Of course, neither the salt nor the butter were on the dish anymore.
