(i.e., appetite), no bread is hard. (When hungry one does not mind if the
bread is hard. No crust is stale if a man is starving.) Many cooks spoil the

profits for fishermen. (It is good fishing in troubled waters.) The right time to
dine is: for the rich man, when he is hungry; and for the poor, when he has
something to eat. Guests and fish stink
on the third day. |
