When in Foreign Land it Pays to Knows the Local Dish

A tourist in Madrid went to a local restaurant. Being a snob, he wanted to try the costliest dish, but the manager apologetically explained that he could not have the dish on that day because it was sold out.

"So make more! I will wait as long as it takes!" said the tourist.

"But that is not possible, senor! the special dish is is a fried bull testicles serves in a special Italian sauce. Only 1 bull dies a day. Today's dish is already booked and paid for in advance"

The snob as ever pulled out his wallet and paid for the next 5 days in advance.

The next day he was served the dish. It tasted good and worth what it cost. On the fourth day he was in for a surprise. That day the meal were smaller in size, shrivelled and tasted awful. While he was chewing the bits that he started with he summoned the manager and complained. The manager smiled and explained, " Senor, we are very sorry for this. It is not always that the bull loses, sometime it wins too!"

Most of us have faced such situation in life when we have to compromise under certain circumstances and feel cheated.
