The European rabbit is a small mammal that has long hind legs and short front legs. They 
have long ears and slightly large eyes placed to the sides of the head. They were not native to 
Australia. In the early days of the settlement of Australia, enterprising settlers stupidly introduced 
the European rabbit. This rabbit had no natural enemies in Australia, so it multiplied incredibly 
quickly. It overran a whole continent, and caused damage to environment which might have kept 
for millions of sheep and cattle. Scientists discovered that this particular variety of rabbit was 
sensitive to a fatal virus disease. Trying to create local epidemics of this disease, they found 
out that there was a type of mosquito which acted as the carrier of this disease and passed it 
on to the rabbits. So while the rest of the world was trying to get rid of mosquitoes, Australia 
was encouraging this one. It effectively spread the disease all over the continent and extremely 
reduced the rabbit population.

One day, a poor man, who had only one piece of bread to eat, was walking past a restaurant. 
There was a large pot of soup on the table. The poor man held his bread over the soup, so the 
steam from the soup went into the bread, and gave it a good smell. Then he ate the bread.
The restaurant owner was very angry at this, and he asked the man for money, in exchange 
for the smell. The poor man had no money, so the restaurant owner took him to Nasreddin, who 
was a judge at that time. Nasreddin thought about the case for a little while. Then he took some
