On the very morning of the dinner, however, a fisherman appeared at the rich man’s house with a fine turbot （比目鱼）for sale. The fish was gladly accepted, and the fisherman was asked to name his price.

“One hundred lashes（鞭子）, si r, and nothing less,” was the strange answer. “And these lashes must be laid on my bare back.”

As the fisherman could not be persuaded to take money instead of whipping, the lashes were laid. After he had received fifty lashes out of the hundred, he cried out, “Stop! I have had my share. I have a partner in this business, and it is right that the remaining fifty should be given to him.”

“What!” said the rich man, “Is there another such madman in the world Call him in, and let us see him.”

“You need not go far, sir,” said the fisherman. “He is your own porter. He would not let me pass until I promised that he should have half of the price to be paid for my fish.”

“Call him in,” said the rich man angrily. “He shall have his fifty lashes.”
