When the king was eating the curry, he sitrred the curry and found only one duck leg in the curry. The king was angry and call foward the cook. "Where's the other leg?"asked the king. The cook replied,"Your Highness, actually I caught a duck that have only one leg. The king asked again," Where was that?" "By the lake near the palace, Your Majesty. "Are you sure?" the king asked doubtfully. With confidence, the cook said,"If you don't believe me, I'll show you." And so they went to the lake.

When they arrived at the lake, they saw that all ducks had only one lake. "See my lord, I told you these ducks only have one leg," said the cook. But the king thought that something was not right. Actually, the ducks were sun bathing and it is common for them to raise one of their leg. So, the king went near the ducks and began clapping his hands loudly. The ducks got suprised and ran away. "See, all of them have two legs,"said the king. The cook replied,"Oh, now its not my fault anymore. Why don't you clap your hand when you eat the curry?"
