But they forgot to mention that upon such occasions they themselves had always made the greatest profits. For example, when their baker found that he had too large a store of flour he would give a great feast. All the people of the community would come and eat cakes, but in the end they had to pay for those cakes the baker was rid of his superfluous flour and he had made a neat little profit into the bargain. In the same way one day an oil dealer found that he pos- sessed more barrels of oil th...an he knew what to do with and planned to treat all the people with doughnuts, fried in oil. It was to be a great feast, and everybody was to be happy (this has reference to the benefits which were to accrue from the secret American treaty).
Then the unexpected thing happened. The oil caught fire (it was rapeseed oil), and before the inhabitants of the "Big Village" knew what had happened, one half of their village had burned down. The old fire engines, which they had neglected for years, failed to work, and the fields of the other villages caught fire, too.
