And among their inattentiveness:
A man bought date molasses from the market,
and carried it to his home,
When he arrived, he found that the molasses had leaked from the bag,
so he went to the seller to complain.
The seller said to him: Why didn't you carry it upside down?
The buyer said: How could I carry it upside down?
He said: Turn the bag so that the leaking spot is on top, and nothing will fall out of it.
The man did this,
When he reached his home, he found all the molasses had spilled.
He returned to the seller and said: I carried it upside down as you said, and it all spilled.
The seller said: You are foolish; you should have carried it upside down while walking on your head so it wouldn't spill!
So the bystanders laughed at their forgetfulness.
