The Master and Servant
H. (Henry) Parker translation
The Servant having brought plantain flowers, for the purpose of eating them they sat down at a place. The Master spoke to the Servant, “Aḍā! Don’t throw away their rinds (potu); having given money also [for them] what are you throwing them away for?” he said.
“If so, you must eat them,” the Servant said.
Thereupon, while the Master first was eating the peel (leli) of the plantain fruits, his stomach having filled he became unable to eat the core [of the peeled fruit].
After that, the Servant ate the small quantity of the core.
