Once Upon A Time Question
A fairytale or story about a man teaching a king a lesson about the difference between smelling food and eating it.
I read a story when I was a kid and can only remember vague details. There was man who was sent to prison for a crime ( which I can't remember what for ). Then another man invites the king over for a feast or supper. As the man is having it prepared the king is commenting on how good it smells. However, this goes on for awhile and the king is getting impatient and asks what is taking so long. The man replies that there is a difference between smelling food and eating it which shows the king a lesson. Which in turn frees the first man from prison for his non extistant crime. This is all that I can remember. Some of this may be inaccurate but close to how the story goes. Plz help!
