Nawab's laddu

Long time ago there was a small Kingdom in India which was ruled by a nawab. he  employed a physician who in Urdu is called a Hakeem.

Nawab was diagnosed with diabetes.

Hakeem was giving him dietary instructions to control his blood sugar.

One of the instructions was not to eat anything sweet.

Nawab was used to eating lot's of sweets specially laddus.

he begged the Hakeem to make an exception for this particular sweet.

Hakeem relented and told him” Jahapana  you are allowed to eat one half of a laddu every week.

After a few weeks Hakeem noticed  That the blood sugar of the nawab was sky-high.

He inquired with the chief cook, he was informed that the nawab was only eating One half laddu every week.

The Hakeem was intrigued and asked the chief cook to show him what kind of laddu the Nawab was eating.

A large plate Carried by four servants was brought in and once the cover was removed.

The Hakeem could not stop laughing because the plate contained just  half a laddu .

The only interesting thing was the laddu was 2 feet tall and was weighing about 25 kilograms.  

The moral of the story is every doctor has to be very specific in his instructions to his patients.
Otherwise they will always find some way or the other to defeat the purpose of the physician's instructions.
