- This is a story about a mean man - a miser - who was so "hard" he used to put a fly in the canister of tea, afraid his wife would make any when he'd be out.
He used to scrape the pot too, and eat the "scrobs" lest they would be wasted.
One night, he was eating his supper and he stuck in his head to it, it was a small pot, and he could not get it out. - Collector
