A traveler stayed at an inn.
The innkeeper found that he had a lot of money in his bag.
The wife of the innkeeper said,
W: I wish he would forget to take his bag when he leaves.
I: I have a good idea.
They say eating a lot of ginger makes people forgetful.
So serve him a lot of ginger for today’s dinner.
The traveler ate a lot of ginger that night;
ginger soup, ginger fish, ginger steak, ginger tempura and ginger pickles.
The next morning, he left the inn.
I: Did he forget to take his bag?
W: No, he didn’t.
I: That’s too bad. Didn’t he forget anything?
W: Yes, he did. He forgot to pay the bill.
