Nasruddin walked by the grocer's stall in the market. He was feeling very hungry, but he didn't have any money.
As he looked at the heap of apples on display, Nasruddin could not resist. He reached out, grabbed one of the apples, and bit into it. "Delicious!" he exclaimed.
"Hey there!" shouted the grocer. "You can't do that!"
"What do you mean?" asked Nasruddin.
"I mean you can't eat that apple without paying for it," shouted the grocer. "It's not ethical!"
"Oh, that's not a problem!" Nasruddin replied happily. "I'm eating this apple because it's nutritional, not because it's ethical."
