Two friends went into a bakery. One of them sneakily took three pastries without the shopkeeper noticing and boasted about how clever he was for not getting caught.



The other friend said, “That’s not the right way to do things. Let me show you a clever but honest way to get pastries.”

He asked the bakery owner for a pastry to perform a magic trick. The owner was curious and gave him one. The friend ate the pastry and then asked for two more, which he also ate.


The bakery owner, now puzzled, asked, “Where’s the magic trick?”

The clever friend said, “Check my friend’s pocket.”
