Summary of paragraph ( the Hodja Nasreddin and his friends )

One day during a cold winter. Nasreddin Hodja and his friends sat discussing the weather. They were bragging about things they could do. They decided to challenge him. They suppose him could stay out all night long in the cold without anything to warm himself. And they made a bargain with him. If he can stay outside tonight he will be their guest at a dinner. But if he use any special item to warm himself he will have to make dinner for all his friends. Then the Hodja agreed. That evening the Hodja's friends watched through the windows as he strolled. It was freezing outside. Just as he was about to give up, he saw a candle in a window about a hundred meters away. So he was able to stay out all night in the cold. The next morning his friends were amazed to find him calm and smiling. He seemed fine. He told to his friends about the candle. They exclaimed to him and they said he must be our host at dinner. The Hodja protested that he was unable to convince them. Reluctantly he invited them to dinner at his house that evening. His friends arrived in good time and waiting for their meal. The Hodja was preparing a fine meal. It took more than tow hours and there was no food. Then he led them into the kitchen they amazed to see a large cooking pot. A single candle was burning one meter below the pot. And he said to them the dinner will never be cooked with a candle. So how could he stayed all night with a candle in about a hundred meters away to warm himself.
