A few metres away , there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying (油炸) fish and selling it to travellers. The woman watched the poor traveller carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You haven't paid me for the fried fish!”
“But I have not had any fried fish!” he said.

The traveller agrees that the wind was blowing from the woman's shop to the place where he ate his rice and vegetables and that it carried the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it. What does your fried fish cost” he asked the woman.
“Twenty-five cents a plate ,” she answered , delighted.
